Walking through this street, I found myself slowing down.
Not because there was anything amazing to see. But because there was so much to notice.
The people.
The sounds.
The movement.
The feeling of the place.
Nearby stood an ancient temple, and perhaps that was part of it too.
A reminder that generations of people had walked these same streets, each carrying their own hopes, challenges and dreams.
I’m learning that the extraordinary isn’t always something we see.
Sometimes it’s something we feel.
The subtle shift in the light at the end of the day.
Children laughing in the distance.
A smile from a stranger.
The energy of a place.
The feeling of being fully present for a moment.
So much of life exists beneath the surface.
The more I slow down, the more I notice.
Not just what is around me.
But what was there all along.

The world has always been extraordinary.
I’m just getting better at paying attention.
For a long time, I was focused on what was next.
The next goal.
The next responsibility.
The next thing to solve.
And if I’m honest, I still catch myself doing it.
But these days, I notice more.
The way light dances on water.
A conversation that stays with me.
A moment of stillness.
The feeling of being exactly where I need to be.
I’m learning that the extraordinary isn’t always found in the big moments.
Often, it’s been there all along.
I just have to remember to notice.

I went to see Professor Brian Cox Brian Cox recently.
He spoke about living in a Goldilocks universe. A universe where countless conditions aligned for life to exist.
It left me thinking about how easily we overlook the extraordinary.
Not just in the stars.
But in the everyday moments.
A morning walk.
A conversation with a friend.
The light breaking through the clouds.
Perhaps extraordinary isn’t something we need to go searching for. Perhaps it’s already here.
It is just waiting to be noticed.

In India, I asked my teacher what the purpose of life was.
Her answer was simple.
“To love.”
At the time, it sounded almost too simple.
Years later, I can see how easy and how difficult that can be.
To love ourselves.
To love others.
To love life as it is.
I took this walk in India last year.
It’s at an ashram I’ve been returning to for a number of years.
It’s always been a place of growth for me.
Not because I find all the answers there.
More because it creates space.
Space to slow down.
Space to reflect.
Space to see things differently.
The funny thing is, I don’t always notice it at the time.
It’s often only later that I realise how much my perspective has shifted.
And perhaps a sign of how much I love this place... I’ve already been a little cheeky and booked a few rooms for next March 2027.
Lately I’ve been thinking about how quickly we try to fix things.
A feeling.
A situation.
A season of life.
Maybe not everything needs fixing.
Maybe some things just need a little more time.
A little more space.
