"Wild Place Karma....."

"Our experiences strike us, like the stick hitting the bell, and we learn about ourselves".
Deng Ming-Dao
What resonates within each of us, what we seem to already know, and that which we each deeply sense... all have been related to karmic understandings. The sum of a persons actions, the impact of one's life, and the ripple effects upon others and our world... are also sometimes thought of as being karmic. There is much within adventures that echoes the meanings we may discover about karma. A real theme of my Summit Stone intentions, and the many musings on this blog, reflect ideas about giving back and passing forward out there... Such a theme is a very personal one for each of us. Any choices we make about giving back and any 'karma' we each create also in passing forward is as unique as we are... We each are both cause and effect; and that seems to ring true in understanding the nature of wild place karma.
Karma also seems to be about mystery... of things before, during, and after. It resides on that mystical plane that flows through time, the elements, and the moments of our lives. The wild places inherently have the optimal mix of these elements for us to sense the importance of our own mystery's. Can we really be an influence upon such things is a question often asked... Maybe an answer of sorts is that we might each just simply choose to act as if this is indeed true. Then the question has answered itself.
Some define karma as a fate of sorts... many clarify that accepting karma as part of life does not mean being helpless and as having no choices. Like all of life and just as inherent for adventures, karma seems to be mostly about understanding that such experiences are a dynamic process where we each play a very active role in both instigation and outcome... There is nothing fatalistic or passive about this; just as there shouldn't be about our influence upon the natural world.
It is said that the most powerful karmic connections are those which we distinctly sense but never really see... Have you ever felt that out there... It is written as well that a very potent source for karma are those experiences which are unexpected, that surprise us, with their presence. When there is little to gain, really nothing of material benefits to be found in an action - that is a karma that sustains itself... And much of what we each choose to do in our adventures and wild place journeys is done for the simple enjoyment within the activity itself.
Can you sense how your own karma is created during your adventures out in the wild place Dear Finders.....
