JUST WALKING

Where to begin? The muscles tense. One leg is the pillar that supports the upright body. Between heaven and earth. The other is a pendulum that swings from behind. The heel touches the ground. The entire weight of the body rolls forward onto the forefoot. The big toe pushes off, and behold, the body’s weight, in delicate balance, shifts again. The legs take turns. It starts with one step, then another, and another still, adding up like light beats on a drum, they form a rhythm: the rhythm of walking.” ― Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking

Walking is the simplest yet most profound gesture we have. Just as Virgil guided Dante, we too follow a path that leads us to discover new ways of being in the world. So come on… let’s walk together.
