In Praise of Walking
Walking is among the most life-affirming of human activities.
It is a way we organize space
and organize ourselves to the world at large.
It is living proof that repetition –
placing one foot in front of another—
can in fact allow a person
to make meaningful progress.
Walking is practically and physically beneficial…
It has also been intimately tied to creation
and philosophical thought.
Thinking on one’s feet reflect,
a type of mental openness
that can only be achieved
on the move.
