Sue-Marie,
It’s wonderful that your hike in the woods helped you revisit a positive memory in your past. It makes me think about what Mark says when he talks about the upward spiraling of positive emotion – one good thing on top of another. The next time you’re out enjoying nature, you’ll have two great memories to reflect on! How refreshing to hear that your positive emotions ran away with you, instead of negative ones which is most often the case. It also sounds like you have a wealth of knowledge about Buddhism and meditation. Have you taken related courses at Evergreen or is this just a passion of yours? Could you recommend any good literature?
