Walk the Pod: 10 minute walking

A bonus edition from my allotment in South West London. Using the Merlin app to identify the birds

So few of us get away from our desks at lunchtime in the UK. What might be possible if we reinstated the lunchbreak?

The biggest obstacles to recommitting to the same things and people are our emotions. A rainy and weary episode from the park behind the hospital.

Walking around the park behind the hospital and thinking about constancy in nature—the daily rising of the sun, the seasonal cycles of trees, the weather and our own routines and habits all contribute to the constancy of nature.

The flow researcher whose name I couldn’t remember is Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (pron: Mi-hi Chick-sent-mi-hi) in this episode of Walk the Pod: 10 minute walking. Music still too loud, I will adjust tomorrow. Thank you for bearing with, dear friends.

Welcome to Series 44 in which we’ll be discussing constancy. What does constancy mean, is the the same as consistency? Is it grind? Absolutely not.

Allotment update recorded in the shed at 14b Paddocks Allotments, in South West London.
