Not every walk can be calm. This one, the dogs were a bit frantic at other leashed dogs, and at the end, there was a snap! and the pain of a slightly twisted ankle.

Namaste! My daily walk is an opportunity to find peace, to find calm, to meditate with movement. It is an opportunity for me to observe the world, to notice, to keep field notes. It's a 365 project with a focus. It's a time for me to remove the word "chore" in walking the dogs or finding time to exercise and instead, use it as time inside myself: to breathe, to breathe. To breathe.

Each step we take creates a cool breeze, refreshing our body and mind. Every step makes a flower bloom under our feet.

The press of my foot to the earth springs a hundred affections.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes but in seeing with new eyes.
- Marcel Proust
The rhythm of walking generates a kind of rhythm of thinking, and the passage through a landscape echoes or stimulates the passage through a series of thoughts. This creates an odd consonance between internal and external passage, one that suggests that the mind is also a landscape of sorts and that walking is one way to traverse it. A new thought often seems like a feature of the landscape that was there all along, as though thinking were traveling rather than making.

Yikes! Leashes makes dogs so crazed... I hope you're healing up!
Thanks, Meryl! Yes, leashes are not always the best for our dear Zephyr... I once broke my elbow running with those two knuckleheads. It was the summer I got married. :) Silly me, the only bone I've ever broken.
