Day 072m: To walk in Perfect Time … (June 25, 2019)
“To walk well means to walk intentionally – mindfully – often slowly. And to walk slowly means much more than to languish one’s tempo. Rather, it means to walk in a way that harmonizes one’s body with one’s surroundings. It means to cleave more perfectly to time, so smoothly that the seconds fall gently away — one by one and drop by drop — like the steady dripping of a wayside font on stone. This kind of walking stretches time and deepens space. It is one of the secrets of purer pilgrimage: a steady approach to landscapes that gradually renders them all familiar and makes them all Home – much like heartfelt kindness turning strangers into long-lost Friends.” ~ inspired by Frédéric Gros
