In remedy to the hectic pace at which life moves, I take a moment to:

Stare intently at the sun till all I see is white.
Lie on the grass and smell the air, watch the insects go about their everyday intangible transactions.
Pay attention to the beads accumulating on my shirt on a hot humid day.
Indulge myself in a cross legged fashion watching the throngs of people sweep by my very senses, creating a burst of colour before my static eyes.
feel the pulsating beat of blood coursing through my veins.
open my mouth to take in a swipe of fresh air just as my running cadence develops a lag in motion.

aww, the beauty of sensory stimulation. The perceptual world is quite a peculiar domain to find yourself in.
