A Philosophy of Walking

I love walking. A book on it - 'A philosophy of Walking' by Frederic Gros is welcome.
soon I realised that another major focus of the book is writers, my another favourite subject.

Delays in traffic jams got me started walking. Soon I got comfortable enough to stretch my walks to test how far I could go. Even though its such and individual, personal task. The author has made various thinkers and their philosophy of walking as the centerpiece of book. The only author in this book, I knew was big on walking - Thoreau. This book has great vignettes of writers and poets whom you know only so much reading up their bio. They become flesh through their feelings during walking.

"Lastly, you are not alone because when you walk you soon become two". This sums up the self-company of walking. As I kept reading, I kept thinking of the various places that I was hiking and the feelings talked about in the book.

I have some idea of the pilgrimage to the end of the world from 'Off the road: A modern day walk down the pilgrims route into Spain' by Jack Hitt.
This traveler is having way too much fun - staying at hotels, taking off from the walking for a movie. I have to follow the journey of his self discovery.
He is down to earth in terms of spirituality. Oh oh! This route aint easy with mischievous people giving wrong directions. Now that I have seen the scallop symbol, I will recognise the path. Butterflies as trail markers. whatever works.
I am now lined up with the date at the bottom of the page.
