Walking
I loved the reading. I am having a very good time with the reading of the article "Walking." I really love the language and mechanics of the text. I love the cause and effect, and other things that the author brings through this very descriptive history. The analogy the author makes with the rural community and the city is amazing. I love the poems and the rich description of self-character as well as the adjectives to describe the surrounding areas and people. The culture is so rich and full of truth. Well, I will stop here and continue with a little more details on the next blog. Enjoy your reading.

I'm finding that I'm enjoying my walking even more with Adams' perspective. I love this quote of his, "I want to take a walk with you in the garden--to go over to the common, the plain, the meadow. I want to take Charles in one hand and Tome in the other, and walk with you, Nabby on your right hand and John on my left, to view the corn fields, the orchards…"
ReplyDeleteHow interesting when his entire world is on the verge of literally falling apart that his fondest heart’s desire is to simply walk on his land with his family. I love it.
This is so true. thank you for the coment. You are so right about this quote. I even wrote it in a peace of paper when I read. I remember living abroad and feeling so lonely, I walked in the trains railroad for miles. nature was all around and I reflected about all the things in my life through those hard day. It is amazing how it becomes therapy.
