One Apple A Day #329
I spent the last eight days disconnected from the Internet.
Not to practice asceticism or a digital detox.
I just wanted to be fully present in what I was doing. To do so, I deliberately decided to reduce my interactions to what was within my hand’s reach.
It isn’t the only thing I avoided in those eight days.
I also skipped lunch every day.
All of this while I was walking all the time in nature with a group of brothers.
The beauty of all of this is that I renounce to a lot of things that are part of my everyday life but not for a moment I felt I was giving up anything.
From the first minute, I never felt I needed anything else but what was there.
While I was walking amidst the gorgeous hills and woods of Central Italy, immersed in the sound of nature and the conversations with other brothers, I felt no needs for more time or food or knowledge.
Being there was all I needed.
When we make space in our life, life flows in, and there is no giving up, but fulfilment.
