Mindful meditation while walking
Mindful meditation while walking in Chicago Walking meditation is a method of walking that is typically a slow and deliberate pace. Life can better be lived at the same slow and deliberate pace. It is a practice of concentration while walking, focusing on breathing and pacing. Life experienced in a focused pace is defined by goals and achievements that are celebrated. It is different and immediately recognizable from the typical seated meditation because one’s eyes must remain open when walking and there are visual stimulants that impact the minds meditation process offering more interaction with the environment. In life external forces attempt to capture the focused mind to burden them with the deviated path, those external forces must be quelled, squashed and destroyed.

The Corona Diaries #1
MARCH 15 2020- THE DAY BEFORE QUARANTINE It was a typical Sunday before the mandated lockdown began. It was a cool, crisp and sunny pre-spring afternoon in Toronto. Since I wanted to enjoy my last day of community freedom, I booked an Uber to take me to my waxing appointment. I chose to spend the day out of my building, because I knew that I was going to be obligated to stay in for the next three months. So I took my usual day trip to Steeles and Bathurst to shop, stroll around in nature, relax and do a couple of errands. Than there was an evening out for dinner to be excited about.

While we are a fiery generation and while I love the invigorating feeling of being part and fighting alongside movements I believe in with all of my heart and soul, the weight of it all does become heavy at times.

Brigid's Cross
Waking up each morning was a chore better left undone to my way of thinking. Every day was spent in nearly the same routine of going to a building and working a job I really didn't enjoy. Being nagged at by a boss I couldn't stand and listening to the constant hum of whispers at break time by co-workers I both didn't know and didn't care about.
