In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks. JOHN MUIR
Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. SOREN KIERKEGAARD
The civilized man has built a coach, but he has lost the use of his feet. RALPH WALDO EMERSON
My God is the God of Walkers. If you walk hard enough, you probably don't need any other god. BRUCE CHATWIN
Moreover, you must walk like a camel, which is said to be the only beast which ruminates when walking. When a traveler asked Wordsworth's servant to show him her master's study, she answered, 'Here is his library, but his study is out of doors.' HENRY DAVID THOREAU

My feelings exactly - particularly Chatwin who I love. Have you read Black Hill? (I really don't need to ask that question Roberts, as I am sure you will have done so). Happy New Year to you All.
I have read it, as it happens, Pat. An absolutely terrific book. On the shelf above me there's a second-hand copy of Susannah Clapp's 'With Chatwin: Portait of a Writer'. Must get round to reading this next year. So much to read and so little time to read it, as usual.
Happy New Year from all of us here too!
Walk like a camel I shall!
May 2010 be a year of inspiration for you.
A wonderful 2010 to you too, Phoenix... and happy ruminating!
I desperately need to get back to walking and these quotes are perfect. A great time to make a resolution too.
Wishing you a happy new year that is full of many lovely walks.
A Happy New Year to you too, Bella! BTW, just put up another post on walking and sauntering...
Great quotes. I particularly like Soren Kierkegaard's :-)
