Walking

Not sure why this felt like such a revelation, but here goes.

The act of walking is pretty damn amazing. That a body can move in any direction, constantly rebalancing itself, using minimal surface area of the soles of your feet and toes. (oh toes!) And evolutionarily, how did we figure this one out? And how cool must it have been that monkey? Or the sense of triumph of a 12month old shuffling one foot in front of the other without crashing on their butt? And don't even get me started on the biomechanics of it all!

This occurred to me during work. Which meant I wasn't drunk (which could give you a whole new appreciation for the trickiness of walking). And I wasn't teaching dance (which can make people question even their ability to walk). I was just commuting to the kitchen.

And now that it is pretty outside again, I hope to be doing more of this amazing "walking".
