Yesterday we did a class on slience and contemplation, so I figured it was something worth checking out since I have an adversion to being silent around other people.
Well, I did some walking in a park by the river, and remmebered that I actually don’t have a problem being quiet and thinking for a long time. Sitting still, I’m working on, but quietly thinking not much of a problem.
Also, I was walking not to far from my house (I live pretty close to the river), and they have this park area along the whole river going through the south metro. I could totally enjoy walking there on a regular basis I think. Plus if I ever got skates that weren’t for doing tricks and were made more for getting around, that would be a great place to skate.
While I was walking around I did see some camp site like thing. I figure some homeless people live there or something. It was kinda weird.
The last thing I really learned from my walk (that isn’t personal anyway) is that climbing up fiarly steep dirt hills in sandals is a bad idea.
