For me, walking has often been therapy

Let’s clarify.

1. Not in hallways, parking lots, malls, or many suburban housing developments.
2. Not purely for exercise, especially walking in circles.
3. Often, I’ve found downtowns invigorating.
4. Neighborhoods with homes that reflect individuality and care. Craftsmanship, detail. Gardening, shrubbery, and trees, too. Ivy can be magical.
5. To get from one point to another. Think of exploring.
6. On trails. (Going back to Boy Scouts.)
7. Forests.
8. Riversides and beaches.
9. Up and down a hill or a mountain.
10. As a break in the practice of writing or revising. I’m recalling the orchard and irrigation canal banks, especially.
