though i have been going out everyday.
yes, the nerd (gasp) everyday this whole week, i still managed to squeeze out some thinking time whilst walking.
i did an incredible amount of walking this week. loong stretches of shopping. orchard/bugis/cityhall/orchard. walking home. walking to and fro yy's house. just plain walking on the streets. walking even when i can take a bus. (though it pales in comparision with oli's great expedition across the island. i want to do that too, but i live at sunset way, runn-able distance from school :/ haha)
walking is therapeutic as running is too. :)
everything fades into insignificance.
it's just you, your feet, the pavement, the sun, the sky, the trees above, the cars zooming by, the blinking traffic lights at junctions. it doesn't matter whether you're going somewhere or nowhere. whether your thoughts are complete or left tailing. whether you have resolved your troubles or not. whether anyone cares. it's just you, the steady thump of your feet connecting with the pavement, the feeling of something solid, hard beneath. the pounding against rough gravel not exactly comfortable after a while but nevertheless comforting.
you, feet, pavement.
un moment à se rappeler
. a moment to remember.
