I found such meaning in a single, simple question : "What is your favorite place?"
Thank you for that.

How subversive, to use a phone as a phone, and to use it to engage with the world around you.

I experienced a lovely hour-long conversation with a gentle, warm, compassionate, and friendly voice. And an hour long conversation really means something; most conversations with people/strangers (most consistently throughout my own days) are ten to fifteen minutes long unless they're in Zoom land or at my money job, and that's generous already. Inside that, I'm always left wishing I got to hear more from the folks I'm around, and experience a feeling where myself and another are having a grounded, full, and focused conversation. To take a full hour and simply chat with one person about our surroundings and the world we're moving through is a rarity and something truly special, and that something was woven out of our conversation that I returned to my spot the next day after a gentle invitation towards the end of the conversation, and reflect upon it, was quite special. I hung up the phone more open to the world as I passed through it for the rest of my Wednesday, and with a good deal more optimism not only about said world, but how I exist in relation to it. And fully acknowledging the big and small from my perceptions, without any personal inflection from my own eyes due to the nature of simply describing for another person; a person who showed their ears to consist of all mentioned above, was the key to that open-mindedness I think.

The plants that saw me through the worst of it, lovely Maureen, traveling southwest, the incredible park ranger and the women's FKT, the ultra-runners who know every rock and tree, and the indigenous people who built the very paths we walk today. Thank you for bringing up these images and memories. What a beautiful gift of an hour in my life.

The hour conversation was so relaxing, peaceful, reflective and inspirational.  I feel so centered and at peace.

I loved seeing my outdoor space in a new light, and being able to share those thoughts. I found myself deeply appreciating all of the ongoing activity of my buzzing and feathery neighbors in constant motion and the trees and clouds that filled the space like a painting for us during our call.

Time slowed down, and our conversation made me aware of the surroundings both near and far. The conversation created space for my thoughts to refocus, for my body to align with the present, and to consider the imprints we might leave behind and the things that we take 'with' while moving through the day, week, or more.

What an amazing way to start my day. It was a lovely hour of focus, self-awareness, therapeutic reflection, and fun. The conversation was easy and flowed naturally. I realized I just don't often talk about my personal thoughts on the simple things around me. It was great to just stop and reflect on the questions and discussion. I've tried to keep that reflection time and make it part of my day - just to stop and think about the colors, sounds, smells surrounding me.

I enjoyed the almost meditative journey of this. The re-examining of self in space, in time. The connection. The discovery on large and small scale over the hour. In addition to marking an area I’ve been to many times before with a new unique significance. I enjoyed delving into he importance of water, air, flowers, bumblebees., observation, breath.

It was just delightful to have an hour set aside to explore my own natural environment, and to open to some of the ways that my neighborhood is alive with creatures (birds! bunnies! GIANT and small greenlife!).  Really appreciated the facilitation of appreciation.

I found the hour flew by with the empathetic tone and direction of the person asking questions. He led me to attend in s new way to details of what was the room and the people and view outside, and my feelings about them.

I felt really relaxed and at ease after this experience! I felt more in touch with the sensory memories of my past (imbedded in the landscape where I had my call), and felt newly aware of how I relate to the landscape differently now than I did when I was a child, and how I relate to this landscape (my "childhood home" landscape) differently from my current landscape (my "adult home" landscape). A great experience!

Lovely to be taken into a space I know and to see it anew.

What a lovely gift of presence. I felt like I was being held inside of my own exploration of my surroundings and sensations and stillness.

Thank you for the time, talk, and time-talk. So many times at once! It was a wonderful space and attention to share, and such a grounding conversation. Beautiful!

thanks to the little boy who reminded me what fun it is to go stomping around in the snow, to the squirrels for the way the delight in risk-taking, to the trees who store up for the spring and reveal it to us, eventually

How much information is held in our open curious experience? Freedom and curiosity seem paramount and that feels like it needs to be cultivated rather than more traditional skills.
