A Summer Morning's Run

What could be more pleasant, more gratifying than to be mindful in one's body while out running early on a summer's day?

Feeling the cool air, pleasant despite the promise of heat to come, moving across your skin ...

Sensing the breeze lifting the tiny hairs on your forearms ...

Pulsing in time to the running-rhythms of foot to pavement, breath in/breath out, heartbeats ...

Inhaling the fresh scent of grass, and earth, and blossoms ...

... and anticipating a day of test cricket and sewing.

This is all good.
