Henry David Thoreau loved walking. He wrote a long essay about walking and in the first paragraph described it as "sauntering". He explained that sauntering is an old word made from two older words "sainte terre" or holy land. In old days, folks enjoyed walking because it helped them sense a nearness to God. In a sense, when out in God's creation and free from some of the pressures and distractions that man brings to man our thoughts can turn more freely to the One who made it all. I've found this to be true and would encourage you to become a "saunterer" as well. You will find yourself drawn away from many cares and enjoy thoughts of inspiration from the maker of all you see around, above and below your feet. Come to the Holy Land with me.
Happy trails!
Psalm 26:3 for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth.
blessings,
