Finding Balance Between Doing and Being: A Dialogue with Leonardo da Vinci in NYC

A MOMENT TO CONSIDER

Kefei stages an imaginary conversation with Leonardo da Vinci while walking through New York. The fictional exchange connects exercise, neighborhood observation, and writing to a question running through retirement: how do daily actions shape a sense of self?

The dialogue treats curiosity and intention as companions to activity. Pilates and city walks become occasions to examine the purpose behind doing, while reflection keeps the search for balance open and ongoing.
