  • As I walked, the music in my ears blended with the natural sounds: the occasional honk of a car and the soft rustling of trees.

  • The combination of these sounds made me feel present, grounded, and at peace. It reminded me why I love living here, there’s always a quiet hum of life, but it never feels overwhelming.

    Embodiment    : My body felt light as I walked. There was no rush, just a natural rhythm to my steps.

    • I adjust my pace naturally, slowing down when something catches my attention and speeding up in busier areas.

I noticed the steady movement of others: people heading to work, walking their dogs, or on their coffee run

    • The neighborhood moves at a steady pace, not rushed like Manhattan

My experience walking through Astoria aligns with what Springgay & Truman discuss about walking as an embodied practice.

    • Walking here brings me peace because it reminds me of familiarity, connection, and the comfort of home.
