In Praise of Walking

I discovered the poetry of Thomas A. Clark in a small poetry book shop in the beautiful market town of Hay-on-Wye, England. His work simply captures the essence of what it feels like to be in tune with nature perfectly.

The following are a number of Thomas’s aphorisms on walking. So enjoy a walk today (it costs nothing and is good for you)!

“A journey implies a destination, so many miles to be consumed, while a walk is its own measure, complete at every point along the way”

“To walk at night is the largest experience we can have”

“There are things we will never see, unless we walk to them”

“In the course of a walk we usually find out something about our companion, and this is true even when we travel alone”
