The quiet hour

Today's run started in the low light of the early morning in a silent neighborhood, save for a soft rain falling into puddles and slush.


I was grateful to spend a quiet hour, one step at a time, out in the same world where both wonderful things and heartbreaking things have happened in the past few days. We experience these things with each other, with our community and the people we love. For me, it is also imperative to create room to process (or try to begin to process) those things quietly on my own, whether it's through running or walking or yoga or cooking or reading or writing. Those are the ways I've found so far.

Someone out there did that with a walk this morning:


How and where do you carve out that quiet space?
