Move with more intention
Welcome to those of you who have come from the Museum of Walking mailing list. You’re now part of the walk · listen · create community and you’ll be receiving a newsletter like this, once a week either dropping in your mailbox on a Sunday evening or on a Monday morning, depending on which of us is writing it!
This week it’s me but another week, it may be one of my colleagues Geert Vermeire or Babak Fakhamzadeh. We are planning on having guest editors too but will tell you more about that in due course
This week has been quite a topsy-turvy week for me, I fell in the street, badly grazed my shin and bruised both my left elbow and my right wrist. I was in excruciating pain overnight and went to hospital the following morning where they took x-rays. Thankfully nothing had been broken.
To be honest, I feel rather stupid as it was entirely my fault, as I wasn’t looking where I was going, and I tripped over a bollard created to keep cars away from a zebra crossing - clearly I wasn’t moving with more intention.
I’ve been reading "Walk" by Jonathon Stalls who is a guest on the Walking America event in the next couple of weeks
“I’m not interested in convincing you anything intellectually. I want you to move with more intention, openness and creativity.”
Jonathon is a real philosopher on foot, and I can’t wait to hear him in conversation with Ann de Forest, and her other guest Antonia Malchik, whom Jonathan quotes often

Best!
