Here’s another great quote from our old friend Gary Snyder (The Gary Snyder Reader page 178):
"Walking is the great adventure, the first meditation, a practice of heartiness and soul primary to humankind. Walking is the exact balance of spirit and humility. Out walking, one notices where there is food. and there are firsthand true stories of "Your ass is somebody else’s meal"–a blunt way of saying interdependence, interconnection, "ecology", on the level where it counts, also a teaching of mindfulness and preparedness."
Thank you for that GS.
