- Henry David Thoreau
"To find new things, take the path you took yesterday."
- John Burroughs
"Allow walking to occupy a place of stature
equal with all the other important activities in your life. As
difficult as that might seem, here's how to do it. Make it a practice.
That's right. Turn your walking into a vehicle for personal growth as well
as for fitness. This will add a higher level of integrity and intention to
your approach because you will find that it is a way to deepen and upgrade your
relationship to your body. Instead of merely giving your legs and a good
workout, you'll be practicing to relax more, to breathe better, to expand your
vision, to open up your range of motion, to increase your energy, to feel and
sense your body. The list is exciting - and endless. With all of
this to look forward to, your walking program will take its place alongside
everything in your life you value most, and you'll be amazed at how easy it is
to schedule time for something you really love to do."

Here is my walking path. It is a .35 mile, asphalt paved,
cul-de-sac, Kilkenny Lane, in Red Bluff, California. Kilkenny Lane moves
in an east-west direction from the front of my home to Highway 99 West. I
practice Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong in the circular area in front of my house
shown the foreground of this picture. I rarely encounter a car on Kilkenny
Lane.
