“Walking shares with making and working that crucial element of engagement of the body and the mind with the world, of knowing the world through the body and the body through the world.”
—Rebecca Solnit
“The destiny of every walking man is to immerse himself in the panorama surrounding him, to the point of becoming one with it, and ultimately, to vanish.”
—Federico Castigliano
I love to walk, and try to walk in new and different places as often as possible. On this particular day, I decided to take a completely different walking path that I had not been on for years. I could not believe what I saw on my walk! I encountered all new and unexpected discoveries including beautiful bird houses attached to the top of telephone poles on every block; handmade birdhouses crafted by children hung in trees; a chicken farm selling eggs by the honor system with beautiful chickens; a collection of old antique tools and equipment; beautiful wildflowers; and a bridge full of inspirational messages to remind people about what’s important. It was the best walk and so inspiring.
