#MorningWalk 01

Thoughts pop up like sperns racing for life, when I abandon all the machines I make use of and complain about, and put into use my body and work it like the most imperfectly perfect machine; the one with mind and soul, during a morning walk.  Chin up, the whole body errect and walking as straight and steady and possible. There are not many pleasing things than to step out of your home and smell the morning, hear the birds chirrup; two signs that the life is still worth it, and see some of the finest people around, who understands and executes the idea that life is no fun without sound health.

The experience of a morning walk, have a proportional relationship with any 'difficult task' that we have to perform in life. The initiative to take the walk is difficult, the first couple of rounds are a bit challenging, but when the body gets warmed up, the speed increaes and we enjoy the body moments and want to continue as long as time permits. Similarly, while performing the task, at first, we are at self-doubt, whether we should take up the challenge or not. Then while performing it, we are very calculative and perform it according to prescription. There are difficulties and doubts, but they are overcomed, and we feel comfortable and soon we start enjoying it.

While walking, when I look at elderly people walking faster than me or jogging, I just whisper a 'wow' to myself. It i such an inspiring sight. And even for all the other walkers/joggers, the speed doesnt matter, the fact that they have come out and chosen a healthy way of life is all that matters. Just like in life, what matters is keep moving ahead, at rapid pace or slow pace, it doesn't matter.; what really doesn't work is relinquishment, giving up.

The pleasure doesn't end in performing the task, the satisfaction on its accomplishment is what we seek, and an initiative from the very beginning. The five minutes after walking continuously for an hour, the sweat, the feel of the blood circulation and coming out of all the oils and fats, that we unfortunately can't live without, in form of sweat is very satisfying.

I am an occassional Walker.  I wish to have a proper routine in my life and walking would be one of the most joyous parts of the routine as it is truly a great exercise for both my body and mind.
