Beautiful Amity. I have a bracelet I always wear that has Keep Fucking Going inscribed on it. It reminds me to do the one step in front of the other thing. It's vital.
thank you for such a beautifully written piece, Amity. Love how you reconnected with self from the act of walking, being in nature, and coming back to the bod.
I feel walking has entered my life this past year when I realized running was too traumatic for my joints. I began training for the Camino de Santiago and hope to do it in small stretches next year. xo
Beautiful. I discovered the healing power of walking in 2006, 6 months after my brother died, when I asked my Mum to take me on a local walk she loved. I went from wondering how I'd survive walking up what felt like a 90 degree Hill to falling in love with where I live and the act of walking for pleasure. Its brought me so much joy and healing in the years that have followed, setting me on a path of healing that changed my life completely. I still love walking now and recently qualified as a lowland leader so I can start to share this beautiful country I live in, and the magical healing power of walking in nature, with others
Walking truly is a balm for the soul. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I’m just sad that due to a health condition I can no longer do longer walks, which were always my favourite. I’m doing everything I can to try to get back to it.

I have one of those too! Sadly I can’t actually wear it (sensory thing) but I do like looking at it. Keep fucking going indeed.

Thank you Tamy, I’m glad you enjoyed the piece. The Camino, wow! I know a couple people who have done it and they loved it. Best of luck with it :-)
can’t wait, thanks! I’m sure it’ll contribute to my memoir writing lol
