While gallivanting around Jersey City this morning, I came upon this beautiful beige setting that grabbed my attention. So much so that I decided to stop and take a picture because the imagery inspired me to write!
Since it was pretty early, there were not many people out, mostly runners and folks walking their dogs. After snapping a few pics, I started to walk towards the extended bench underneath the umbrella to chill.
Just as I was about to sit down, I noticed a woman jogging and waving at me as if she knew me. To my surprise and delight, she was a friend of mine. We chatted for a few minutes, and then she went on her merry way.
Once that excitement was over, I was ready to relax and enter into a deep meditative state. I hopped on the bench, took a quick look to the left and then to the right, closed my eyes, and concentrated on being still. So what happened next?
I began to feel the warmth of the sunlight and a light breeze touching my body while simultaneously admiring the lovely sounds of pigeons flying by. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the pedestrian traffic along the pier had picked up, so it was time for me to go.
Before leaving, I took five minutes to recap this experience and decided to share it with you.
Have a successful week ahead!
