30 secds. on Ego

I went for a Trail walk this morning, it was cold, I started to jog, it's been a while since I jogged, but I felt like I wanted to run. Ended up jogging the whole trail with pleasure. The light dusting of Snow on the trail was deceiving , made the ground look even, it wasn't. I had to concentrate on where my feet were going, it kept me completely present. The dusting reminded me of the Ego, looks beautiful from the outside, but what lurks underneath, we don't know until we scratch at the surface a little, and what we might find could be rocky and mucky, but at least we will know that it is there, so we can tread gently. Namaste.
