I often wonder what travelling must have felt like before Google Maps, before Instagram, before every beautiful corner of the world had already been photographed, reviewed and ranked. by @softskies.studies

I am happy when I wake up with the sun already pouring through the windows, when I eat peaches over the sink and let the juice run down my hands, when I swim before breakfast, when my hair dries in the sun. I am happy when days stretch late into the evening and there is nowhere I need to be.

I love bare feet on warm ground, salty skin, cold watermelon, linen dresses and the sound of cicadas in the afternoon. I love long lunches that turn into dinners, the first swim in a place I have never been, driving with the windows down and discovering a small beach we hadn’t planned to find. I love buying tomatoes from the side of the road, reading in the shade, watching the light change on the sea.

I am grateful for friends around a table, for family, for a home to return to, for cold water when I am thirsty and a breeze on the hottest days. For having the freedom to travel sometimes, and the time to stay still sometimes. For summers that remind me how little I actually need.

There are so many small things that make a summer feel like a whole life. I want to notice them while they are here, rather than only miss them when the season is over. by @softskies.studies

Soft Skies Study No. 01 — The Body

A study of coming back to the body.

There are days when the mind gets there first — planning, anticipating, moving ahead of the moment.

And then there are the small ways we return.
A slower breath. Bare feet. Morning light. A swim. A long stretch. Silence before the day begins.

Perhaps presence is simply this:
being where your body already is. by @softskies.studies
