Christopher Hansard:[ walking]

what do you do when you walk?

is it just one foot in front of the other?

can you

learn to

be just

the steps

without

any expectation?

if there is calamity

and your world falls apart

sit in the pause

between each step

the pause between the moments

and know that even the ‘now’ is fleeting

and that

all that this is

is a variation

of the natural pause

the breath,the step,

the heartbeat

the sunlight

in the morning air,

the mist in evening light

the echoes of a distant moon
