The Joy of Walking

Vancouver May 2015

Walking lets me stay 

  under the broad sky 

    cloudy or clear. 


Walking lets me feel 

   the rain on my face, 

     a snow flake on my nose, 

       the wind combing my hair 


Walking lets me feel 

   the world of nature all around

    whether city or on the land. 


Walking lets me move a body

  that is part of nature 

   stiffened with the decades 

     but still walks a good clip 


walking has been my life 

  from morn til night 

    in my home or in the world


“Above all do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself 

into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness;”

~ Søren Kierkegaard
