+walking just aas a motion, as process, as a going on in life, a continuum, a mode of selfexpression or dicovery or exploration, a means of bonding with the landscape, or being at a raw level in the environment, like the Indian sadhus with their vowed walks, their walked vows.
+  * The prostrating walk in Chine Buddhism. The monk enters a concentration or one pint-state as much as possible, faces in the direction he wishes to traverse, and lies flat on his face on the ground; when he gets up he plants his feet where his face had been when he was lying down, gathers his concentration again, and so on. It's much like the movement of an inch-worm, except that with each prostration he advances about five feet. For centuries Buddhist monks developing their vipassana concentration, or one-point attention to the present moment, would vow do to this excersice for a year, usually circumambulating a mountain with prostrations.One famous monk did this for forty years, then became a teacher of the dharma in his old age.
+The Graeta Wll Walk was based in the idea of the artists walking towards each other, in theirr early work, the pair walked toward each other over and over again with great physical concentration across a small space. in the great wall the while they converged across a fast distance, their walking invlved perhaps even more mental than physical effort.
