Washington Square Park

Taking a few moments to name what your five senses are experiencing is a great way to stay present. I tried to do that while on my walk tonight (minus taste: I already ate dinner). This is what I saw, heard, smelled, and felt during my walk.

See: Hancock Tower, Sears Tower, leaves falling, police lights, a completely empty Washington Square Park (aside from the rats), raindrops on leaves, flowers, and plants

Hear: police sirens, crickets(?), a bus idling, cars driving on wet pavement, All Things End by Hozier

Smell: pizza, perfume, wet wood chips, fake flowers

Feel: a warm breeze, water on the back of my heels from my shoes
