First step

This is about walking. Literally and figuratively. I mean for walking to be a metaphor, a means of transportation and a way of living. You'll have to sort it out for yourself.

Mainly it's a record of my days.  A journey made not for myself but for my children, their children and Eddys yet unborn. Those who will continue the walk I've started here.

So why do I walk? 

Because there are certain things that can’t be seen from the climate-controlled capsule of car.

Because he could have flown, teleported, ascended or rode a fiery chariot or talking ass, but Jesus walked.

Because there are really wonderful plays that a car can't get to by you can when you walk.

Because the fastest way isn’t always the best way.

 

Just for the joy of having people stop and ask me if I would like a ride and then seeing their face when I say, "No thank you."  Hey, I live in a part of the country were people drive to work even if they live across the street.  If you ride a bike or walk anywhere of any distance, people look at you with pity.  Some with guilty derision.

Because it’s low impact…to you and the world around you.  It’s amazing how far you can go on a banana and what you can walk up on when you move so quietly.

Because gorp is cheaper than gas.

Because it’s unexpected.

 

Because you will continually amaze yourself at just how far you can go.

Lord knows.
