This is my walking song.
Everyone should have a walking song,
to break the silence,
to add to the routine,
to keep life's conversation going.
A walking song helps one appreciate
the world along the pathway,
and the companions of the day.
It's a talk to go with the walk,
a song to sing when no one else is there.
Best of all, a walking song is a daily discipline,
putting to practice the challenge of Paul
from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18:
Rejoice always,
pray without ceasing,
give thanks in all circumstances...
Which leads to verse 19: "Do not quench the spirit."
from Turning the Metaphor
