WALKING IS GOOD FOR YOU


Walking is good for me. Walking is good for every body, because this is how human bodies are made. First we are blobs. Then we learn to roll over. Then we learn to sit up. And then we learn to crawl. And then we learn to walk. And then we learn to stand.

Standing is harder than walking, which is a graceful means of falling and catching ourselves and falling and catching ourselves.

We are amazing creatures.

Try to make a human shaped sculpture and not have it fall over. Feet are small and we are very big compared to our feet. This is an amazing feat to walk on our feet.

When we walk we are moving our upper torso one way and our lower torso another way, and thus we are continually massaging our spine.

When we walk we are upright and can look out at the world, out at the trees and the blue skies, and the trees around us. Bicycles are immensely ecological and immensely efficient, but walking is immensely satisfying for our souls and is far more healthy for our whole system.

So: good for your soul, good for your soles, get out and walk every day is the advice from this healer.

Ciao.
