A Local Tourist: An Every Day Travel Mindset
New to mindfulness
Something happens when you live too close to beauty. You forget to partake of their delights.
The proximity makes you take them for granted.
Today, I spent that day being a local tourist. Breaking out of the normal Monday routine to take hours walking through shops smelling soaps I wanted to eat, lotions that were whipped like butter, eating chocolate I never tasted.
Exploring local towns as if I was just visiting for the first time.
I want to live with an every day travel mindset.
The town does not need to change. The ocean does not need to bend to my will. The redwoods can keep sprawling upwards.
It is I who changes when I see the world anew again and again.
How do you live with an every day travel mindset?
