Still water to walk along and breathe to the pace of.
Close water you can reach before the light goes soft.
Room to walk by the water until the road drops away behind you.

Before you start walking, stand still for three slow breaths. Let the hurry you carried here settle. There is no distance to cover.
Begin to walk, slower than usual. Feel each foot meet the ground. When your attention drifts, and it will, bring it back to the next step.
For the last minute, lift your eyes. Take in one thing you had not noticed: the light, a tree, the air on your face. Carry the pace, not just the moment, back with you.
