The secret of walking
Is to set out,
Take a step forward,
Explore the unplanned path
Be open to discovery,
Noticing those who choose
To walk with you,
Join with their presence,
Mostly it’s silence that speaks,,
Because, talking would interrupt,
What is heard in the quiet,
Stop to celebrate the views,
Remembering the solitary path,
Is never taken alone,
There are always companions,
Who share the adventure,
If we remember to stop,
Wait and imagine,
Where the next steps will lead.
