Action notes: Wandered around the apartment, barefoot, feeling both the cold of the floor and the gentle vibrations of the space — presumably heating and suchlike making gentle vibrations. Tried to “hear” the vibrations with my feet, understanding this as an exercise in sensitization. Had trouble distinguishing the feeling of the cold from the feeling of the vibrations, but what is clear is that there is a gentle “buzz” that I can feel with my feet that I normally tune out completely.

Action constraints: Am running late for my dinner date and so rushed the action slightly. Would like to re-perform in different settings. Will make a note of this and add a tag: “desire to repeat.” Also, the title of the action is problematic from a contemporary Canadian post-TRC context. I have no idea what the thinking was behind the title, and struggled with whether to not perform the action. Instead, chose to perform the instruction but not reproduce the title.
