How often have I had this longing for an infinite walk – of going unimpeded,
until the movement of my body as I walk fell into the flight of
streets under my feet – until I in my body and the world in its
skin of earth were blended into a single act of knowing.

With the first step, the number of shapes the walk might take is infinite,
but then the walk begins to define itself as it goes along, though freedom remains total with each step:
any tempting side road can be turned into an impulse, or any wild patch of woods can be explored.
The pattern of the walk is to come true, is to be recognized, discovered.
- A.R. Ammons, A Poem is a Walk

With beauty before me, may I walk
With beauty behind me, may I walk
With beauty above me, may I walk
With beauty below me, may I walk
With beauty all around me, may I walk
Wandering on the trail of beauty, may I walk

I have outwalked the furthest city light.
