Try Walking It Will Change Your Life
Thoreau writes in “Walking,” ““I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least—and it is commonly more than that—sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements.” P. 735
Walking is available online and gutenberg.org under the Harvard Classics.
NOTE: Thoreau wrote Walking long before we all started thinking about exercise and its relationship to our health. He realized that physical and mental health benefits we get from exercise were immense; especially when one chooses to exercise in nature. Whether it is walking in a nature park close by my house, somewhere in the Rocky Mountains, or along the seashore in the off season, I find myself buoyed by the experience of being outside and becoming one with my surroundings. Try it and you will discover that it will make all the difference in your life.
