Good walks

What constitutes a good walk? Is it ranked by the longest step? Or is it about the number of times one can go without tripping over their own feet? Is a good gait defined as being a light walk; barely touching the floor? Or is it a nice,hefty walk with loud tromps? Should we skip,sashay, or shuffle? Scurry, slip, or skedaddle? Is a good walk defined and regulated by an association that publishes guidelines and pamphlets about posture and rhythm? Or is the best walk defined as the most effective walk; in that it can cover the most distance in a minimal amount of steps?

Some people say that a walk can give away a lot about the kind of person you are, and how you feel. There is a reason “dragging your feet” and “skipping along” are terms synonymous with certain archetypes and emotions. A walk telegraphs character. A walk tells a room who you believe yourself to be.

So may you walk with confidence, and grace. With kindness and strength. Creativity, fondness, bravery, and (most of all) may you avoid tripping over a bit of especially thick carpet on your way in.
