Walking
Posted Apr 3, 2024
Two links, of two similar things I've enjoyed:
1. Walknotes, one of the few blogs that I always read. A bit of humor combined with mindfulness, you get to peak through someone else's beautiful and observant eyes.
From the Context page:
In the park this morning a guy paused until I’d gone past before throwing a ball for his dog. I said ‘thanks’, he said ‘Ok. I’m a terrible thrower. I hit a donkey’. I said, ‘Oh! The dog looks happy though. Cute dog’. He said, ‘The dog’s a bastard.’
...thus the man is refered in posts as TMWDIAB (The Man Whose Dog Is A Bastard).
Walknotes reminds me to be conscientious about not only nature, but the people around me who are also having quiet moments to themselves.
2. An Ode to Women Who Walk, an excerpt from Lizzy Stewart's Walking Distance, published in Literature Hub (via Phil Gyford). Not much to say, but I really did enjoy the writing and the illustrations.
