Sir Andrew Motion makes some persuasive points about walking and inspiration in this BBC Radio programme (I Player)
I keep meaning to buy a book on walking and the art of meditation. There are several Zen guidebooks available.
Perhaps I should simply go walking more often. Reading books and listening to the radio is not quite the same thing. Hearing somebody else striding out and getting short of breath doesn't really do the trick!
Have you come across Rebecca Solnit's 'Wanderlust: A history of walking'?
ReplyDeleteNo, but I'll try to get it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI should also spend more time walking and less time blogging, I have just been reminded!
