Practice by the Sea

Drove this morning to the overcast beach and did a perfunctory practice. Felt conspicuous doing the exercises even though there were only a few people around. Didn't settle into the practice like I do here in my room. Probably a natural reaction to trying to practice in a new setting. Could have spent a bit more time acclimatizing before trying the exercises.

Did notice a peacefulness that settled over me as I sat for a while after doing the exercises. The air was clean and clear, the water and sky gray and uniform, and the sense of how good it felt to be near the ocean was prevalent.

Have to try it again, but with more focus, intention and not so much attention to self.
