How You Move in the World

There are many ways to move through the world. Some people move fast, strategically, and loudly, leaving evidence everywhere they’ve been. Others move more quietly, focusing on the ground they’re standing on in the moment versus concerning themselves with the distance they cover. For some people, it’s all about performance. For a few, it’s about presence.

Take your time. Don’t hurry.
