A good book to help slow down and appreciate the present moment.
Not the practical how-to guide that I had expected, but rather a quaint collection of meditations to consider as you walk. I read a page a day, as sort of a daily devotional.

Every time you walk you are connected with the ground, you are in tune with the earth, and you are in deep reflection of yourself.

The first part is sweet, short reflections on the power of walking meditation. The second are guided walking meditation.
Usually I adore these small books by the late Thich Nhat Hahn, but it was either the book or my current mood, but something did not click for me with this one.
This is a great guide on learning to walk mindfully, whether that means setting out on a walk specifically for that goal or being mindful as you walk across the street or to your car. There are many reminders about bringing yourself home in the present moment, as well as reminders that you are never alone and never die. When I've heard Thich Nhat Hanh speak before, the concept of a cloud never dying really stood out to me. Here he takes that same concept and uses the metaphor of a wave that itself only exist for seconds, but always returns to the ocean and continues being a part of that larger element.
I have now completed reading the Essential Mindfulness Series. These five short books are powerful, inspiring, and quick reads. I have underlined and starred many passages that I will continuously look back on.
Another element I have really enjoyed in the book is Jason DeAntonis' sumi ink illustrations.
