Reflecting on experiencing Observation #7

Robin’s suggestion of walking for half-an-hour served its purpose of temporarily clearing the mind of any distraction, and being able to focus on observing the surroundings. Usually when I’m walking I am accompanied by my set of earphones, listening to a political or film-related podcast. Therefore my mind is somewhat occupied. I decided to walk without earphones to enhance my experience; it was initially unusual but ultimately worthwhile.

My previous observation details how difficult it is to truly have a clear state of mind when walking as you are always walking towards something. My conclusion is essentially that one can become free from distractions, and be able to truly observe, but only on a temporary basis.
