What activity has most consistently given you a feeling of inner peace?
Waking up from a good night of sleep. Being on an isolated beach. Being in an an isolated woods in the Pacific Northwest.
Working with children, as long as adults don't come into the picture.
A really good porn flick!
I was actually thinking the same thing as a comical reply right before I clicked and saw your comment.
Hiking. But playing ukulele comes in a close second.
Rock climbing because it demands such a high level of presence. Cross country skiing for different reasons. Always helps to be outside and moving.
Since walking through new places in the mountains is getting out of my reach, and my motorcycle has been out of commission for years now, driving on long trips provides the best grounding and centering for me. When I can't drive the act of remembering finding and experiencing spiritual places is greatly relaxing, at least until I go the one step farther a let myself get depressed for not being able to be at those places in person.
Hiking. Getting away from any religious input (try counting every instance you receive religious/church input in a day; it is an amazing high number). Also climbing hills and mountains. 3 plus hours on the golf course is wonderful too, almost no religious attempts out there competing forvmy mind space. Biking. Caring for the granddaughter, and equipping her with critical thinking tools.
Inner peace? What the hell is that? Still looking for it.
Empty beach.
No sand, no water?
@PondartIncbendog no people )
Kayaking in the Spring, Summer and Fall. Skiing in the winter.
As far as activities go, probably sailing. But my greatest peace doesn’t come from an “activity” as such; it comes from an accumulation of understanding.
