COMPASSION FOR REFUGES

It can be difficult to extend feelings of loving-kindness and compassion to people we don’t know, but walking offers us an opportunity to identify with some of them – with refugees. We set off with the deliberate intention to dedicate, for example, this particular morning’s walk to the homeless, to the foot-weary refugees of the world, trudging from country to country, continent to continent, often from poverty to poverty. The toiling families, each child holding an elder’s hand and clutching a rag doll or a toy, their only possession; the old relatives bent beneath a mind-numbing load. We hold them in heart and mind for the length of our journey. Walking becomes a physical prayer or meditation.
