writer, artist, and movement practitioner Cody Cook-Parrott on starting a running practice, leaning into ritual, and taking life one day at a time ⚪
"Taking life one day at a time" — Cook-Parrott's phrase, on running.
On the twelfth floor in Tokyo the kettle takes five minutes every
morning, and that five minutes is the only window in the day I have
not yet asked anything of. The ritual you both describe is the
practice of arriving without negotiation. The leaf in the pot does
not need to be impressive. The book on the floor does not need to
be the right one. The kettle just gets hot.
Beautiful. Thank you.
Great reminder that if you stop you can always start again
Yes! much needed <3
