This walk with Lucy ...Thanks so much for this Jess. This walk with Lucy also had many invisible walkers walking with us - I see this so clearly now, having just re-read the blog. Over the past few years Lucy and I have had others walking in the landscape that we've either accompanied (The Walk That Reconnects) or supported (The Emergence 2012 Land Journey). You were there as was Cai, as was of course Merlin. A community of walkers...Fern Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490561833357624092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031937669644607842.post-9830432286488349902016-11-15T04:51:21.779-08:002016-11-15T04:51:21.779-08:00Thank you Fern - and Lucy - for a wonderful reflec...Thank you Fern - and Lucy - for a wonderful reflection on the power of letting go into 'permission'. I loved the waterproof trouser-train-transition - it reminded me of when i started the Tilting walk in 2010 and Sara decided I should take her flip camera with me. Except the memory was too full of Copenhagen (COP) footage which she had to transfer to her computer. My train was due to leave in 15 minutes, so we decided I'd walk to the station, get onto the train and stand in the doorway of the carriage nearest the entrance. She'd stay at home and transfer the footage then sprint down through town with the flip camera in the hope she'd catch me before the train left. She got there in just enough time to hand it to me and call a quick 'LWC DDA!' before the doors beeped and closed. It's one of my favourite memories! I very much look forward to reading more about Talks Walking as it unfolds... I've got two favourite quotes about walking and talking <br /><br />‘At certain times I have preferred walking that is to say walking with my feet to talking that is to say walking with my mouth – but in the end it is the same thing’ - Serge Daney in Perseverance cited in David Evans (2012) p. 138<br /><br />and an email from my friend Alison who i often talk-walk with:<br />'The talk of a rambler, rambling talk of a walker ... you remark on your discursiveness( with a slight worry about coherence) whereas I choose often to talk (and listen) when walking because it seems to me that there are happy, serendipitous, spacey (rambling) qualities that are helpful and nurturing. Walking talk is different, isnt it?'<br /><br />Enjoy enjoy! xxx <br />Jess Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01672800830897325066noreply@blogger.com
