Poem: In Praise of Walking

“There are things we will never see, unless we walk to them.

Walking is a mobile form of waiting.

What I take with me, what I leave behind, are of less importance

than what I discover along the way.

To be completely lost is a good thing on a walk.”

Thomas. A. Clark

Thomas is a scottish poet. You can dive deeper into his work here. I recently stumbled upon his poem “In Praise of Walking” and have found myself coming back to it daily, to remember the sentiments. Just as walking offers new thinking, Thomas’s poem takes me in many different directions. I commend “In Praise of Walking” to the Order of Walkers.
