...the act of paying attention turned the mundane into a meditation. By the end of the walk, I noticed that my footsteps had slowed, my thinking was less dispersed and that habitual, almost innate drive to get somewhere had vanished.

Working with, rather than against, the natural affordances of the mind-body and the soundscape, moves the practice of contemplative field recording in the direction of connection, flexibility and freedom, “…to simply do exactly what we are doing, to do it wholly and selflessly, spontaneously and without any separation from it.”

With time there can grow a confidence in navigating our relationships silently, appreciating the subtleties of body language and enjoying the depth of connection that can come when we do not reduce the world to words.
