Ear buds in, Jill Scott cranked, comfortable shoes on, I head up Central.
(5 minutes free.)
I smile at office workers grabbing a quick snack and fly on by.
(15 minutes clear.)
My spirit jumps on behind the Kid on a long board.
(30 minutes grooving.)
I make the Heard Museum of Native Cultures and Art my turnaround point. Today is one like many lately. I push away from my desk, grab a bottle of water, set my watch and go.
It sounds so simple, but it's not. There are many locks to break, dragons to slay, before I can break free of the Oh So Important Things that have my attention.
The Heard, with its sculpture garden, was a good choice. My fast walk becomes a ramble becomes a wander becomes a lesson.
(60 minutes and my little bird is set free.)

Gorgeous post.
I would love to spend such an hour with you. Free, clear and grooving.
Wouldn't that be fun, Lori? You, me and Jill Scott!
Sound like you have had a great month filled with many perfect moments!
I can feel it! So important to break free every now and then. Good for you!
Lovely, I could feel you becoming freer as you walked. I feel the same when I run. Great post!
Great post! I don't usually take time to walk or run - but when I do, I'm always glad I did.
Addison: You're so right. In running circles, they say that the hardest part of a run is the 10 steps to get out of the front door.
I always feel better.
lostintranslation, Johnnysmom: So glad you could feel the freedom as it washed over me. :)
Kathy: And, yes. Lori and I discovered each other through Perfect Moments years ago. My blog is dedicated to them. If only I was more dedicated to my blog... haha.
