Beautiful piece. As a person whose life has been transformed by walking, I definitely appreciate the necessity of doing it right. Walking for health is not a joke. I focus on the intensity aspect, highlighting the brisk walk as key to wellbeing.

I wrote extensively about walking on my Substack, The Healthy Jew - Finding Wellness With Purpose. Check out the post here: https://thehealthyjew.substack.com/p/the-wonders-of-walking

Thanks! Come to think of it, the first time I read your great writing was Walking the Bible, another walking journey. I learned so much there from your descriptions of climbing Mount Sinai and much more.

Clarity thru distraction has been a long-held belief. Read, study, load up on data points and then go do something else.

When that ‘something else’ distraction is outdoors, it’s even better.

Thanks for sharing! I've always loved walking but during COVID I ramped up things way up. It's been transformational - time to connect with my partner, exercise (duh), good times with my dog, out in nature, relaxing, too many to list! Now I need to go and when I don't my day feels a little off.
