Since the start of lockdown I have been walking for an hour, around sunset, almost every day. This is great time of day to watch wildlife and the unseasonably mild spring has made it a daily delight. Animals are of course, entirely unaware that the world is a bit more unsettled than usual just now. […]

For months, the Covid-19 virus has passed from body to body around the world. Its corporeal work is silent, but it reshapes the soundscape wherever it goes. 1 Coughs and sneezes turn paranoid heads; ventilators whoosh in hospital rooms; streets go suddenly quiet, as people shelter inside. Kids home from school create a new daytime

The Vandals are at the gates. Augustine is deadly ill, spending his final days in prayer and repentance. Having coined the phrase "Solvitur ambulando", “it is solved by walking”, perhaps his ambulatory restlessness at the end of his life indirectly saved the city, as the Vandals initially retreated.

Thoreau, or so he says, walked 10 or 12 miles every afternoon. Perhaps I could do the same. But where to go? Thoreau walked in the woods, avoiding roads as much as possible, but that’s not possible here, given the province’s trespassing laws and farming practices; few fields have spaces around the edges for passing […]

The lockdown restrictions for the Covid-19 pandemic means that I can only travel in my local area, until the travel restrictions are eased (in mid-May?) to allow us to travel more widely within the South Australian borders. The permitted movement with ...

My intention this morning was to walk out into the country, but the strong winds, which were gusting up to 80 kilometres per hour, put an end to that idea. At least in the city there are trees and buildings that act as windbreaks; out in the country the wind hits you with all of […]

Confiné par cette crise sanitaire qui n’en finit pas de finir, dans une réflexion qui prend parfois, bon gré mal gré, des allures quasi monacales, la notion de point d’ouïe se pose encore, peut-être pour moi plus nécessaire que jamais.

Today’s walk had a purpose and a destination: the burial ground at the former Regina Indian Industrial School. Some 40 children are buried there. Their graves are unmarked—the markers burned during a grass fire back in the 1940s—but the ground is uneven where the graves have sunk. The school operated for 20 years, and from […]
