Walking is something we do without thinking.
The ground. The air. The smells. The noises.
They all pass. Hardly noticed.
Let's slow down.
What do you hear in the distance?
What do you hear closer by?
A truck on the highway. A bird chirping.
The neighbour testing gravity.
Which sound is nearest to you?
Look around.
What do you see in the distance?
What do you see beside you?
A flower. A wall. Your patience.
Which details catch your eye?
The world is moving.
And so are you.
One foot in front of the other.
What do you feel on your skin?
Your clothes? A breeze? Sweat?
Or none of them at all?
And beneath your feet?
A pebble? Grass? The ground?
The soles of your shoes?
Take a breath.
The air expanding.
Escaping when you exhale.
Thoughts minding their business.
Distracting you?
The grocery list repeating itself?
Let them pass.
