Soren Kierkegaard on walking

Kierkegaard


Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.
         --Søren Kierkegaard

 

I've just added this quotation today:
If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. As if a town had no interest in its forests but to cut them down!
                            --"What Shall It Profit?", Henry David Thoreau, 1854

A Tiny Garden on 2 August 2025

 







Located on the corner of Westminster and Nelson, this tiny garden brings happiness to many people who stop and admire the flowers and beauty. One of my favourites!
