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.
ReplyDeleteI would love to spend such an hour with you. Free, clear and grooving.
Wouldn't that be fun, Lori? You, me and Jill Scott!
ReplyDeleteSound like you have had a great month filled with many perfect moments!
ReplyDeleteI can feel it! So important to break free every now and then. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteLovely, I could feel you becoming freer as you walked. I feel the same when I run. Great post!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I don't usually take time to walk or run - but when I do, I'm always glad I did.
ReplyDeleteAddison: 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
