Thx Matt. Thats a nice connection, picking up the Solnit. I havent finished as I had to leave it at home before this trip. But will get back to it. I think I saw an interview with her on Timbuktu Review which Ive lined up for a listen soon. Good tip on Thoreau, always worth a read. You still in Albania?
I need to get back on that Timbuktu Review. Great recommendation. I’m based in Kosovo at the moment, and hope to get back to Albania for another spontaneous visit.
I felt like I was there with you J, mindfully stepping, hearing the birds, exchanging cells with the frangiapani tree.
I'm one who walks everywhere as well, to exercise my body and soul. It is the only mediation my monkey brain can do, he's too restless to just sit and contemplate.
I wish you a peaceful day, and a good night's sleep.
Those early morning visits to Thai temples are like gold.
I love the universal message in this piece, as well as the black-and-white photographs, JJ.
A funny synchronicity; I had just picked up Solnit's "Wanderlust" from my shelf the other day as my next read.
If you haven't already read it, "Walking" is a fantastic essay by Henry David Thoreau.

Who needs sleep when you can walk? That’s what afternoon naps are for

Typo in frangipani, now you know it was a real person who wrote this. Hahaha
Funny thing is, I ran it through ai for a line edit…I think I will leave it in, nice human touch. You get a koala stamp for picking it up tho 😊
Your spelling was correct! It was my spelling in my first comment that was wrong, and I couldn't edit it from the app.
I'm the one that can't spell frangipani. 🤣🤣🤣

Hahahaha, you were just being kind, I think that comes naturally to you. 💙
Lovely, reflective piece this morning. Now, I'm going out for a walk. 😉
