Zen Walking


When I round the last corner of my walk I sometimes fix my gaze on a bright square of sidewalk a block and a half distant and try to think of nothing but walking to that square.

I begin to breathe more deeply.

My stride strengthens.

My gait settles in.

Every molecule in my body lifts.

My mind …


One day I'll walk past my own front door without even noticing.

One day I won't even notice that I'm walking.

Not so far.
