I love this. 🙂 I walk as if my feet are kissing the Earth when I’m in nature, but rarely while walking the streets of NYC. I’m too unconscious for that. Maybe one day.
Thanks for the dose of beauty.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments and for sharing crucial insights about the importance of context. It is so much easier to be mindful of connections and beauty in nature. Perhaps it is very wise to guard tender hearts in places like NYC until ready?

Most definitely.
It saddens me that so many people get caught up in the rat race and never experience the joy of nature. NYC has many parks, but it isn’t the same. I wonder whether they realize they are missing out on so much beauty. And stillness.
