What a lovely walk we all had today. After a good rest, the walkers, nearly 70 of us, took the back road out of town and through Nevada ending up at a camp by the Colorado here in Bullhead City. Lucky, lucky us!!
We had new Walkers arrive today as well as a young day walker named Jasper who came to visit his Aunt Kathleen Longwalker. Jasper is 11 and seemed to enjoy his time very much on the walk – completing all 14 plus miles with ease!
“It's fun!,” he said. “My favorite part of the walk is C.J.! C.J. of course is our 4-legged who travels on the road with us and Jasper got to walk with him for a little while this morning.
“I like being able to walk really far with a lot of people,” he continued, “I've never walked this far before. Sometimes my family goes to Chinatown in San Francisco and we walk a lot then, but I've never walked 14 miles at a time before.” He also was able to get his cast signed by Larry Bringinggood and later by Dennis Banks which he thought was pretty cool.
Thank for joining us today Jasper an we hope to see you again down the road!
We also were visited again by Willy (Willy) Fragosa who joined our circle at our third break and let us know that he felt we were walking beautifully today, unified. At the end of the ay he had this to say:
“One of the things I love about walking is the possiblity of community – but not just any type – it's the possibility of community that's ancient. Just as our ancestors did so many years ago – all is one for a common goal, which is what we have here. The goal is no less than Mother Earth's Spirit – and it's not the human beings we have to pray for – it's the holistic creation for the 7th generation – we want them to smile and be happy for what we did today and what we are doing. We have to remember that whatever we do today we have to think about the 7th generation. And I want to end by saying to any children that may be reading this – that we may never get to meet you but we care about and love you. This is for you. Every step is a prayer.”
Thank you Willy Willy for putting today's walk into such loving intention.
