“Thoughts swirl. Blood pumps. Water flows. All of these elements circulate on mindful walks around the lakes and natural areas embedded within Madison. There are rhythms to both nature and exercise that calm the mind and body. Coming back to some of the same locations multiple times throughout the year and noticing the plants, animals, smells and sights that cycled through over time was a meditative practice that helped me take note of what stayed the same and what changed - both in the locations, but also within myself. “
