Downstairs Circuit

Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & 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, & 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

The Power of Decision

I must die. I must be imprisoned. I must suffer exile.
But must I die groaning? Must I whine as well?
Can anyone hinder me from going into exile with a smile?
The master threatens to chain me: what say you? Chain me?
My leg you will chain—yes, but not my will—no,
not even Zeus can conquer that.

―Epictetus

The Walker

Walking and talking are two very great pleasures,
but it is a mistake to combine them.
Our own noise blots out the sounds
and silences of the outdoor world.
―C.S. Lewis
