It began as a way to reduce my anxiety – to loosen that knot in my chest.

I followed the park along the river, past the factories and warehouses and back, along the boulevard of new residential oases.

Walking.

Observing.

The setting sun, expanses of clouds, sky awash with colour, glistening water, ducks, jumping fish, walkers, dogs, children squealing, ferries, rowers, sizzling barbecues, balloons and streamers, footballs, bootcampers, meditators, thinkers, distant city lights with the red blur of traffic. Life.

I arrived home with quickened heart and positive thoughts.

I walked daily. The knot disappeared.

I continued my walks at dusk.
