On Walking

 On Walking

Henry david Thoreau



The word ‘Saunterer’ seems to be derived from

The ‘A la Sainte Terre’ - on way to the Holy land - seeking charity in the name of going to the Holy Land;

Because of this the the word Saunterer connotated with Idlers and Vagabonds

 

Thoreau says:

“Saunterer in the good sense 

Is no more vagrant than the meandering river

Which is all the while sedulously

Seeking the shortest course to the Sea!


For every week is a crusade

Preached by some “Peter the Hermit” in us

To go forth and reconquer this Holy Land

From the hands of the Infidels! 



My Notes:


Go for the walk and hear the signals from within 

Signals - The verses from the holy land with in you

Walking helps you tune yourself in-sync with the Universe!
