Savouring: An act of indulgence or a necessary moment of presence?
Detachment: Freedom or surrender?
Urban life: Invigorating force or draining noise?
Thoughtful. Lengthy gut expression.
When you move through spaces designed for convenience over connection, do you feel them simplifying your life, or does something vital feel lost in the background noise of anonymity?
When urban life constantly demands your attention, do you feel that it fuels your growth by keeping you constantly engaged, or does it deplete you, making you long for a simpler, quieter existence?
As urban life demands a kind of emotional armor, do you find this protection freeing, allowing you to focus on what matters, or do you feel it eroding something essential, like compassion and openness, along the way?
Read these questions and then go do something else. Come back and reread them. You may feel the impetus to respond to a few. Share your thoughts in the comments, then go do something else. Come back, read everything again, including your comment. You might feel the need to add something more. Do it. Then repeat.
