JOHN CLARE
attributed, John Clare and the Bounds of Circumstance

These days, walking down the street may be more dangerous than driving. The number of pedestrian fatalities has skyrocketed and there may be one small thing to blame: Your cell phone. More and more people are stepping into traffic with their heads buried in their smart phones.

The truth is, walking is an art. It takes skill to walk, just as it takes skill to go hiking or rock climbing. Think about it like this: Why do people hike? When they're done, do they talk about how exhausted they were and justify the hike as exercise? Some first-timers might, but for regular hikers this is hardly the case. People hike because there's something beautiful and joyous about it, whether for the beauty of the scenery or an uplifting feeling in the body.
