WALK #10

I've been a jogger more than a walker, not that I've done either for years. So I'd assumed that after warming up with walks, I'd begin jogging again. But these walks have been revelatory about attention. Its pace facilitates a more intent attention on one's environment, and I think I'll thus stick to walking for a while. For example, I began these walks by paying attention to what's ahead or above me (vineyards, gates, sky, fences et al). But walking also allowed me to look down, and I suddenly see things I may not have noted while running. I see what I would consider, as a runner, to be weeds. But as a walker, I see them as flowers. Isn't that a gift? And, yes, the larger lesson relates to the advantages of slowness.
