Day 13: guest post

This morning’s post is from my hockey buddy and amazing coach Ren Tashiro. Thank you Ren for sharing your outdoor practice with us today.

Walking residential streets is one of my pleasures, and now a habit.  I used to hate walking, instead taking my bicycle on errands or to visit friends.  Somehow in March 2020 I got the idea of adding an afternoon or evening walk to my daily routine of morning runs, and I am still walking three years later, circling the quiet, safe streets on my nightly outing.   Usually the circuit is uneventful, but occasionally there is a chance encounter - a neighbour, a proffered box of books at the curb, or a nocturnal animal sighting, including of a coyote loping down the road ahead of me last spring.

Day 27: outdoors as a sensory experience.

I am aware of what my body needs - active, upright, arms swinging motion. I notice there is a tone to my walk - purposeful, present, confident.  I notice the openness around me, the cleared sidewalks and roads, the clouds are softening, lightening up, revealing a soft blue sky.
