The art of a walk
Have you ever walked by someone else
and put yourself in their shoes?
Have you thought to yourself,
Wow I wonder what they are thinking about right now
I wonder where they are going
I wonder what challenges they may have faced
Have you ever walked by someone and thought about whether they see you or not?
Have you ever walked past yourself
in the windows of a shop
or building
and smiled
or frowned
and wondered where it is that you are going
how you got here
told yourself you were beautiful
Have you ever walked alone and thought
am I going the right way?
What if this path comes to an end?
How do I know which turn to take and when I should take it?
Have you ever worked so hard to be someone you can’t
Or have you felt the times changing before you
That you know four weeks from now
you will be different
changed
grown
more beautiful than you could have ever imagined
I hope so
Have you ever walked and sat with your walking thought hours after that walk?
Have you ever really walked and thought?
