My favorites: Activities

I don’t think of myself as an active person. There isn’t much I do. There isn’t much I enjoy doing. I more often find myself in a state rather than engaged in an act.

I can name the following forms of activity that bring me genuine pleasure:

• Walking (by which I mean “going for a walk”)
• Dreaming
• Calmly observing:
  • Bare shapes
  • Colors
  • Lights
  • Gentle sounds
  • Plants and trees moving in the wind
  • Flowing water
  • The water’s surface rippled by the wind
  • Sunlight reflecting on the water’s surface
  • Clouds
  • The Moon
  • The view from my window
• Swimming in open water
