Banksy in America An alleyway off the main street in Park City, Utah |
In 10 minutes I can . . .
. . . send a thought out into the hive mind via social media
. . . do a short yoga/exercise burst
. . . respond to an email thoughtfully
. . . add some flesh to an idea I’m working on
. . . connect with someone important in my life who I don’t see often
. . . take a short walk
. . . meditate
. . . send love
. . . find reasons to smile
. . . try to count the people I admire
. . . breathe deeply and fully, letting it all go for a few minutes
. . . engage a stranger
. . . bestow a small kindness
. . . read something meaningful
. . . snap a photo
. . . absorb my surroundings
. . . feel my place in the great nest of creation
. . . write down a dream
. . . text a note of appreciation
. . . record a random thought
. . . conjure up a family mini-adventure
. . . fall into a reverie
. . . envision a thriving world
. . . jot down one significant thing said to me recently that might otherwise get lost in the wash of time moving along briskly
. . . send a love note to my lover woman wife
So many possibilities when 10 minutes suddenly opens up in my day.
