Perambulations

“Perhaps the most profound relationship between walking, thinking, and writing reveals itself at the end of a stroll, back at the desk. There, it becomes apparent that writing and walking are extremely similar feats, equal parts physical and mental. . . . Walking organizes the world around us; writing organizes our thoughts.”

—Ferris Jabr, writer, “Why Walking Helps Us Think,” The New Yorker, September 2014
