Usually, I would take strolls in the Morning or Evening when there are far fewer people , so I can get the solitude that I wouldn’t usually get at home. However, yesterday afternoon I needed a mental break, alongside the desire to regulate my emotions I took my mask and my phone and took an intentional stroll; I could feel myself rushing to head to a more quiet area that I knew of but, I suddenly started to slow down, realising the golden hour. I changed my mind to head home to sit in the children’s park to watch the sun go down amongst the laughter and the chatter of kids, families and fellow people on their journey. For moments, I was able to think of nothing, which is rare for most adults. I was mindful of how cold I was feeling so I started to head back home; though turning around and seeing this sight kept me longing to stay around and bask that is; my present.
I’ve been having moments like this a lot for me recently. There is a serenity that comes with acknowledging the development of man alongside the strong presence of what is natural and divine. This acceptance takes away the stuffiness I feel when I walk down the street; for a few moments, I can see that the world itself is flawless by accepting the flaws it has. The idea that everything is constant, twisting and turning with an intent.
