The two are absolutely intertwined in my experience--many a thorny dilemma has been "walked off" by me over the years. Perhaps getting the blood flowing throughout one's carcass stimulates the brain, as well. Perhaps ranging the forest with my dogs makes all tiresome civilized problems insignificant in a more primitive perspective. And(at least in the past--and still for myself) walking used to get one AWAY from other distracting influences, and allowed one to THINK THEIR OWN THOUGHTS, unpolluted by the constant chattering of other primates around them. Of course nowadays, most folks have become absolute slaves to technical devices that never allow them an unadulterated moment to themselves. I am one of the very few I know without a cell phone, computer of my own, etc. The only phone calls I get on my firmly tethered land line are late notices from insurance companies, which are easily ignored! Sometimes, to me it feels like that movie "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers", and I am the last earthling left! So yeah, people, put your addictive technical contraptions aside for awhile every day that you can, and get out and WALK! Escape the brainwashing media every chance you get.......L.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-34989550115443837642015-01-25T07:50:23.231-08:002015-01-25T07:50:23.231-08:00Love that.
