Walking Can Be

Controlled falling

Inscribing space

Progressive motion

Rhythmic kindness

A great adventure

A noble art

An intellect improver

Correcting for imbalance

Our best medicine

A type of meditation

A way of freedom

An ambulation of mind

Physical and mental freedom

The best modern exercise

The most ancient exercise

A special acting-out of place

Almost as important as breathing

The best of all exercises

A practice of heartiness and soul

A technique of solitude, away into reverie

The best remedy for a short temper

The best sovereign invigorator of the body

A favourite sport of the good and wise

A way of making the world our own

How the body measures itself against the earth

A way of being somewhere, rather than striving to arrive

An indicator species - signifying the health of an ecosystem

Discovery - on foot we take the time to see things whole

Knowing the world through the body and the body through the world

The perfect way of moving to see into the life of things

A crucial element of engagement of the body and the mind with the world

A process of appropriation of the topographical system on the part of the pedestrian

Sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from worldly engagements

The enterprise and adventure of the day that lets more air and sunshine into our thoughts

An incessant falling - a falling and a catching of ourselves before we come actually to the ground

The only form of transportation in which we proceed upright on our own legs, under our own power

An indicator species for various kinds of freedom and pleasures: free time, free and alluring space, and unhindered bodies

Moving at a regular pace by lifting and setting down each foot in turn, never having both feet off the ground at once
