“walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things.
it is the one way of freedom.
if you go to a place on anything but your own feet
you are taken there too fast,
and miss a thousand delicate joys
that were waiting for you by the wayside. “

“your cadence is your music” – william shatner
on a walk in the beautiful early fall weather
taking in a bit of the world
listening to music
a man came up beside me to say
‘you have quite a cadence.’
something i’d never heard or considered
such a funny compliment
and happily noted.
—
“to brisk notes in cadence beating, glance their many-twinkling feet.”
