Walking is like writing. Both are humble and utilitarian occupations, something most people do all the time.
But like good writing — in which words are strung together in a way to arouse sympathy or disgust, beauty or ugliness — good walking elevates the pedestrian. It is more than just a way to move from one place to another. It is a conscious and reflective exercise.
Good walking wears out the body and fills up the soul. It turns otherwise dreary and muddled days into clear and purposeful ones.
Good walking — I hope to do some at lunchtime.
