Re: Wowie

I think you're the cutest thing ever! I really enjoyed reading your response :>

You wouldn't believe how many hours the average Los Angeleno wastes while driving to work, school and other destinations. I can honestly say I'm on the road for at least an hour to two hours everyday. Sometimes I wish the time could be spent doing more productive things, but i fear it would distract me from the road.

I'm glad you enjoy the process of walking long distances as well. There is something incredibly peaceful and meditative about walking at nights when the city is quiet and everyone is tucked away in their homes...all except for you and the occasional person you stumble across.

Walking long distances gives you time to quietly contemplate your day, life and any other such matters. I cannot tell you how many epiphanies I have gotten while doing so throughout the years. There are times where i feel i cannot remain sane without this activity in my day.

Sometimes i prefer to walk in silence and feel the breeze against my face, hear the rustle of leaves from trees. Other days, I like to let the music I'm listening to consume my being. Both my dear, are equally wonderful.

I think in general, the population at large would experience the benefits of more physical activity. The reduction in the gas emission from the cars would actually make the air fine to breath in very populated areas.

And I know exactly what you're talking about when you say it's peaceful and meditative (the rustling of the leaves I find is very special for this). I like to walk during all times of the day because they each have their pluses: the morning when the weather is cooler and the rays of the rising sun shining on everything... During the day (on weekdays) because it's especially quiet, as everyone is at work... The sunset, everyone knows how wonderful the colours of the sky can be, and likewise, the complexion of all our colours change in an often memorable way... And finally night-time, when it's the city's turn to offer us light, along with the moon and the stars, and like you said, we walk, knowing everyone is home to unwind and rest after another day.

The 24 hour cycle can truly be a beautiful thing, and walking during different times of it are a great way of feeling it best. I love watching nature also because of this, the wildlife is all too great a part of this, and for me, watching them seems to remind my soul that I too, come from their world. But later, I stand up from the log I was sitting on and walk back to the motions of civilization :P

It's always pleasure to share these thoughts with someone who can relate.

You've summed up word for word how i feel about everything.

Civilization sucks. Bastards destroyed paradise and put up a parking lot.
