Walking
The art of walking represents a spiritual practice of wildness and freedom from society
'In wildness is the preservation of the world'; walking as philosophical practice; the West as direction of freedom and possibility
Thoreau's argument that walking isn't exercise; it's philosophy in motion. The word 'saunter' comes from 'Sainte Terre' (Holy Land).
