It's been a confusing week, and that shows in my walking as well. I haven't paid much attention to it, yet do it everyday. I show up, everyday. In less than a week I'll be 300 km closer to my destination. How has it changed me? Don't think I have a conscious answer to this quite yet. Today was day 47, the header is the number of km left.

It's been a roller coaster week. Walking keeps me grounded. I like the rhythm of my steps. Today was day 35, the header is the number of km left.

So it's been over a week since I wrote. Seems like I'll be setting into the weekly-ish writing groove. First, it's remarkable to me how fast this is going. I thought I had missed a couple days, but it's been well past a week. I'm walking longer distances. Is it me getting better at this? Is it my body telling me I need to keep going ev...

And it has been 6 days since my last log. Somehow I thought it was only three. This week I have felt disembodied, even when walking. Due to being busy, I have downsized my walks and started multitasking my ritual walking with moving to accomplish certain chores. That in itself makes it a very different experience. It seems like I lose ...

What a great walk. I discovered so many new streets, new trees, new houses. I wonder why this experience into the unknown was not tainted with fear but joy. Was it because I was not preoccupied with results or getting somewhere in particular? Just the walk, just the rhythm of my body through my steps, my life through my steps. Just dis...

It seems like going for walks is less painful now. Not sure if it's because my feet are stronger, and I am paying attention to my posture. Hope it continues to get better. Today was day 12, the header is the number of km left.

It's fascinating how I have walked some of these streets before, yet it feels so different. Today was day 11, the header is the number of km left.

It's only been 10 days of doing this, but I'm already noticing the way it's changing me. And that is the reason I'm doing this. This is why I want to walk myself to my destination, and not just take a plane there. The person who travels by plane or train, is the same person after disembarking a few hours later. Without moving themselve...

Yesterday I couldn't do the ritual walk, and tomorrow I won't be able to do it either. Today is quite a special one then, walking paths I know well, yet, they feel different. They are seeing different. Today was day 8, the header is the number of km left.

Today, for reasons beyond my control, I had to split the walking in three sessions. Sometimes we must be flexible and adapt, instead of cancelling the walk entirely. I will, to the best of my ability avoid splitting my walks. Sure, it was easier to walk more. But, I felt more scattered, less serious about the "heaviness" of this, if I ...

Today was interesting. I felt how the urge to finish my task fast kept me from enjoying the walk. It felt long and endless. Until, not sure when, my mindset switched to just walking instead of finishing the walk. When I let go of the need to "achieve", it all became much more enjoyable. Kinda like I was floating. It also let me focus o...

Today felt like a long long walk. Maybe because I was walking in uncharted territory, but the distance I have been walking felt twice as long. Today was day 4, the header is the number of km left.

It feels good to move. It also feels heavy, like every step is laced with generations of sighs and too many doors to push open. It feels best when I let my gut call the next step. One door, breaths of dignity. Today was day 3, the header is the number of km left.

I'm trying to be serious with these walks. The places where I would normally stop to rest or play, I now walk past as briskly as possible. I guess I believe if I'm serious about this, I shouldn't be playing or getting distracted. And yet, when I reached a grass area with a beautiful tree on a small slope, I could not help but to lie un...

I've been thinking a lot about transportation lately, and how moving from point A to point B has become a matter of waiting in a metal tube. And of course it is amazing to be able to cover hundreds of kilometers in a few hours, but this requires us to relegate the "moving" to a machine instead of our body. Transportation puts us in a p...
