A Philosophy of Walking by Frédéric Gros

4.0

The author puts so much significance into the experience of walking, I am now inclined to pause before stepping through the door and ask "Am I ready for this grand life changing moment?" I found the stories of various philosophers and their take on walking to be a mixed bag but the other chapters with various musings about walking were quite inspiring. They even led to some conversations with my wife about a walking vacation. Also in one chapter, as he described walking as an experience of slowness, simplicity, uprightness and steadfastness, I got to thinking about how that opens up insight into the Biblical reference to walking in the Spirit.
