Washington Square Park

I’ve found it’s very easy for me to go. I always walk fast, I’m always planning what will happen next, and staying still doesn’t seem to be my nature. What’s more difficult is sitting and observing. It has gotten easier with age but it still isn’t my instinct.
I would think that it’s so difficult to do because I live in a city that always seems to be moving and changing but I’ve been like this my whole life, including when I lived in a small town where it seems much easier and more natural to relax. My intention isn’t to change my nature, but just to take some extra time to enjoy being still. I guess the word is mindfulness: I’d like to practice my mindfulness.
