Trek
Sayings
To
accommodate a family that came all the way up from Florida, it was decided to
route ourselves along some bike trails like the High Trestle Trail. This route and a similar one today, forming a
loop, would be sage for peaceful conversation.
The state of Iowa is blessed to have such excellent and well-maintained
trails.
While
the caption for yesterday’s blog “More Walking, Less Squawking” is my own
dreamed-up slogan, I picked up some really brilliant sayings that were posted
along the trail—sayings that promote the walking culture.
Let’s
begin with insomniac Charles Dickens who consumed much time in his daily (or
rather “nightly”) walks. He is quoted
saying:
1)
“If I could not walk hard and fas,t I would
explode and perish.”
2)
“The way to extend your days is by walking
steady and with purpose.”
Savour
this one:
3)
“Thoughts come clearly while one walks,”
wrote Thomas Mann.
4)
“All truly great thoughts are conceived by
walking,” penned Friedrich Nietzsche.
5)
“It is solved by walking,” is a Latin
Proverb.
And,
from an unknown source, here is a thought of wit…
6)
“You can’t leave footprints in the sands of
time if you’re sitting on your butt. And
who wants to leave butt prints in the sands of time?”
I
want to thank Ananta, Vaishnavi and their son, Gopal, for joining us all the
way from Florida.
May
the Source be with you!
