"On Going a Journey" - An even more abandoned delight to be learned from our forefathers is taking walks. You will begin to recapture the natural rhythms of the body. The mere act of walking attunes us with the earth and the air. And it gives us an opportunity to think. Aristotle's disciples were called the Peripatetics, or Walkers, because they walked when they wanted to think--they found that walking helped thinking. It does. Especially when you need to work out a problem. --Peter Kreeft - ...I am a confirmed saunterer. I love to be set down haphazard among unknown byways; to saunter with open eyes, watching the moods and humors of men, the shapes of their dwellings, the criss-cross of their streets.
