chilled blankets

Just got back from a walk a bit around the streets of Beloit with Nathan. It snowed pretty much all day here and the area is just beautifully blanketed with WHITEness! Really pretty.

It’s really snowy and a bit icy on the ground so I was walking pretty slowly–it got me thinking about no, I don’t need to be cautious or anxious about slipping

but just awake and aware of how I’m walking. I can easily translate this to general life, one doesn’t need to be always reacting and worried about what’s to come, but just be awake. Being awake directly leads into being ready for what’s to come, but at the moment fully in the present. Giving myself that time to just let my mind slooowww and calm was the happiest moment of my day.
