When recalling my most memorable summers as a child, I realized the memories that stayed with me have a common element – connections. The pictures that linger in my mind are those of the people that I loved and spent time with. By practicing walking meditation, we can physically and mentally slow down and be present with those around us. Feeling connected to each other and all other living things, that’s what memories are made of! We don’t have to go anywhere or do anything special to have fun this summer; we just have to take the time to relax and JUST BE.
