Nomadic Spree Helps Me Feel Happy And Spontaneous

The beauty of the footloose walk is that I feel happy and spontaneous. Many new things I never imagined in my restrained activities are found along the unrestrained walk. If I am not free to move about, I lack ingenuity and breadth of mind. It is as Virginia Woolf puts is “a bit limited, a bit thick in the head”

I try to follow a simplified mode of life which enables me to learn the science of my own potential. I feel nomadic spirit embeds me, which makes me realize the innocent wonder and magic about reality. It alleviates not only the effects of the mundane concerns of day to day life and skepticism but also affirms the childlike attitude by attracting whatever I resonate with. It bestows me the power of insight, revelation, and discovery that helps to wire the process of learning.

Moving from place to place helps being open-minded, inquisitive, meditative, introspective, and eager to learn. That’s the reason I move from place to place, which helps me to try a wide selection of activities. A long walk is a simplest thing which helps me to be watchful and aware deeply on me and the world.

During my walks, I usually gaze out across the fields with prompt attention and this cheers me up. Perhaps it invokes the inner core to help find the wisdom of discrimination which further helps me to ignore the glib lifestyle oozing from social programming. Unusual discernment awakens the dreamer in me to experience the opposite ends of the imaginative spectrum.

A nomadic view is a real freedom for me because I find it a potential catalyst to take my understanding to a new level. The whole understanding comes from the deeper reality than the material one and I am exposed to my own mystical secrets which are unknown to myself. I feel inherently connected to people and to world, which entails feel good factor of feeling loved, happy, and at peace with myself and others.

Nothing besides a nomadic spree can be the most congenial freedom for flooding my interior with brilliant light. It seems I am jostled between heaven and earth, and it gives a feeling I am blessed by both a heaven of tranquility. As I inch my way across vast areas towards the horizon, there is something mystical that tests my human endurance. It also leads to divine acceptance which brings a deeper joy to life by providing a sudden respite before I am unnerved. It is like one moment I feel I am engulfed by large areas, the next moment I feel I adapt well to prevailing conditions. It helps me not only to develop strength, flexibility, and intelligence but also helps me to get a release from the mundane stress. It provide a new body awareness that integrates body, mind, and spirit. And I am into all-pervading, blissful awareness.

Finally I’d like to share my poem the essence of which is that we have to remain open to our world and understand it instead of engaging our whole attention to a materialist world view. The poem is all about the nomadic view which really engenders optimism in people. The way we live affects health and happiness. The poem is about opening new horizons that encourage a great sense of worth and thus enhance happiness, fitness and well-being. The wide selection of activities not only broadens our vistas but also affects the functioning of the respiratory and circulatory system. A shared voyage or walk can create the additional range and a sense of caring. Here goes the poem.

Pumping Iron is a Limited Choice

Spending hours together at a workplace,

Poorly lit and inadequately ventilated.

Pumping iron in a gym cramped with too much equipment and weights.

Is this what we mean by well-being?

How can a place without space and natural light cheer us up?

The way we live affects health and happiness.

We are too limited,

Thus oblivious to the idea,

That wide selection of activities broadens our vistas.

We concentrate on just one or two,

The compulsion to repeat,

Marks the total draining of energy.

We prepare a mindset with a tendency to divest.

The instinct for and of inertia!

Awaken the dreamer,

Feed imagination,

Go for hiking trail,

Broaden spectrum,

And thus an opportunity to develop fullest potential.

Share and bond,

A positive atmosphere for camaraderie.

Nomadic spree for redefining goals,

‘Fun run’ for marathon,

Fun burst is thus stimulus.

Free association interprets the deepest insights,

More occurrences instigate dreams,

New world of imagination,

Opens up through a variety of activities,

Roaming makes us wonderfully alert.

Create the additional range,

Set out for a voyage,

Voyage keeps the enthusiasm going,

And the assured fitness ventures.

A shared walk for a sense of caring,

Reopening lines for communication,

Continuing affection thus keeps going.

A vacation away from home for a new home!

Routine is a death drive,

Travel widely,

Independence creates an urge to be considerate,

Joyous self shines through imaginative spurt.

Confront the overshadowing fears,

Be vigorous and firm,

Learn to stand up,

Co-exist,

Go for a little extra,

Look into the depth of limitlessly deep,

Every layer with exuberance replete.

Configuration of the cosmos,

And our own substance,

Are meant to co-exist.

Pumping iron is a compulsion to repeat,

Diversity creates a new idea for a perfect well-being.

A Nomadic View Is A Real Freedom
