What you (don’t) think about

Setting off with headphones, but, not turning them on just yet

For now, hearing the shwack shwack rhythmn of my shoes on the ground

Now listening to the sound, not just hearing it.

My breathing, becoming self concious of my hands, then focusing on them, control but not tense.

Feeling my body moving

Hearing the sounds of the birds around me. Or the cars going by on the road

My mind wanders to my pace, I ease off because I am going a little fast, my mind settles

The ground ahead, beneath, moving towards me, I can see it, I see it

I’ll leave the headphones off a bit longer.
