Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: a history of walking. | * The Rhythm of walking generates a kind of rhythm of thinking, and the passage through a landscape echoes or stimulates the passage through a series.

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.

The Great Wall Walk (1988) 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 invoved perhaps even more mental than physical effort. | The Great Wall Walk (1988) 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 invoved perhaps even more mental than physical effort. | ||
