Walking around...

Today is a free post. Is not easy to decide a topic to write about, but I want to write about walking. Yes, to walk. It’s a simple thing, so simple that sometimes we forget about it.

Have you ever though about what really means to walk?

To walk is one of the first things that make us humans (besides rationality) There are some theories that says that the beginning of humankind was when Homo sapiens stand up and started to walk. Obviously, before to walk was necessary to develop others abilities, like thought and physical develop of muscles and bones. Anyway, to walk is one of the things that make us different from other animals, and is one of the biggest achieves we can make, just remember how happy were your parents when you did your firsts steps, and all the time that they spend teaching you how to do it.

But besides that, I think to walk is one of the most beautiful things that we can do. When you walk by the streets of the city is like take your time to think, to look all around you: people, buildings, trees. Or sometimes you can walk just watching the shine of your shoes.

To walk is like feeling free: wind blows on your face and mess up your hair. And I think that walking around is the best way to know places.

Sometimes you can walk so much, until your foots feels pain, but that means that you have walked and watched so much.

I like to walk, especially when it’s autumn or winter. I like to walk on the leaves of the trees and hear them to rustle under your shoes. I like to walk by the streets, whit my friends or my family or even, I like to walk alone. It’s so great that we can make it!

  3. I like walk, because it is a action where I can think a lot of things while I observe around me. Also, I like to walk while listening to music, for disconnect from reality and concentrate on my breathing and my thoughts :)
