River Rhythm
This is a walk you can fall into a rhythm on, with water keeping company.
Quieter than nearly every walk in Tel Aviv.
Take this walk when

- Water settles you.
- You want to keep moving without thinking about direction.
Choose another when
- There is little to warn you about — it is a kind walk in most moods.
The trade · it stays level — no horizon to earn. Its strength is flow, and that is what it protects.

Restorative · a pace the vagus nerve can rest in
Breathe in for 4 steps, out for 5. Keep the exhale a little longer than the inhale — that is the whole practice.
Slow down until the count softens. Sit on the next bench for a full minute. Presence is the goal — the map will wait.
