Baby steps
One day I decided to not look up.
Maybe not "decided" but it just happened. I saw my shoes, the floor, dirt and gum wrappers. I saw footsteps in the mud and pebbles laying idle. I counted the shoes in front of me and the steps I took. All rhythmic. If I was sitting I'd tap my feet in a specific way: Once on the left foot, once on the right, repeat again, tap both twice. I don't know why I chose to tap twice for each one but I do remember thinking about it immensely and coming to the conclusion that two times was optimal. 'Optimal for what?' you might ask. Frankly, I don't think even I knew.
