Walking sometimes means undertaking an inner voyage of discovery. You are shaped by buildings, faces, signs, weather and the atmosphere…Walking as a combination of movement, humility, balance, curiosity, smell, sound, light and - if you walk far enough - longing. A feeling which reaches for something, without finding it.
Erling Kagge, from Walking
A seagull flying into the sunrise over the Atlantic
fighting for scraps of food in the air
lizard basking in sunshine on the rocks at the marina
Fish crow gazing into the water of the shipping channel
rock dove perching on a ledge above a small local grocery store
egret fishing in a public fountain.
a single white flower floats on the surface of a pond
Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.
Steven Wright
This was not just a single walk, or even a single day, but in hindsight it felt like one continuous experience. I am on the cusp of a change, trying to decide how and where to focus my time in the near future. I may begin blogging a little less frequently to make space for other work. Decision making is hard. Walking helps.
Thank you for being here.
