Instagram post 2325860673141424349_1834319035 The lexicon of walking can take us across continents and cultures as we track the beloved ritual shared by the masses --- Italians have Passeggiata (*gelato often a mandatory addition to the spectacle.)
Greeks take their Volta,
English are known for the Daily Constitutional.
The French have the Flâneur.
Norwegian folk indorse a sentiment for wellbeing they call Friluftsliv; the free air life.

Thoreau extolled the genius of walking as a practice not of mechanically putting one foot in front of the other en route to a destination, but in mastering the art of ‘sauntering.’ The Latin phrase ‘Solvitur ambulando’ has been echoed for centuries, literally translating to profess “it is solved by walking.” And of course there's Forrest Gump, who famously took his hearty cardio endeavours all in one long hit... Whether you’re a long time proponent, or have recent lockdown to thank for the newfound recreational pursuit, we hope you’ve been enjoying wending your way through your neighbourhood to a more salubrious and peppy version of self.

Instagram post 2318526802339120844_1834319035 May this change you.
May it transfigure that which is negative, distant, or cold in you.
May you be brought in to the real passion, kindship, and affinity of belonging.
May you treasure your friends.
May you be good to them and may you be there for them;
may they bring you all the blessing, challenges, truth,
and light that you need for your journey.
May you never be isolated.
May you always be in the gentle nest of belonging with your anam ċara. - A blessing for friendship, written by Irish Poet John O’Donohue in 1997.

Instagram post 2305576600431366065_1834319035 “People’s memories are maybe the fuel they burn to stay alive” - Haruki Murakami.
Nostalgic replay is a very real temptation these days. The inclination to sit in memory, revising times that were ‘better’, as we wait out this holding pattern that affords little forward motion or chance to construct the new quite yet. Japanese call this natsukashii: a way of evoking fond memories from the past.
But before we do all that, perhaps it’s useful to let the fire of past memory teach us how to espouse a more germane approach to storing the aspects of our current situation - the one we will all collectively review in years to come with our own personal slant... We make meaning of the world based off what meaning we hold within ourselves. And these inculcated ideologies and narratives we believe about ourselves can give way to self awareness that allows us to see, receive and validate meaning in another.
If we want to understand someone, we need to understand the narrative they tell themselves about themselves, and us about ourself. Who is COVID-19 revealing you to be, or how you could be?
Beyond the panopticon effect of 24/7 news exposure, and the internal noise of more private turmoil and trepidation, what can we find and hold on to? As Sheila Heti said in ‘How Should a Person Be’, “How could I castrate my mind and build up a resistance to know what was mine from what was everyone else’s, and finally be in the world in my own way?”
Writer Suleika Jaouad’s beautiful Isolation Journals project has been connecting people globally during this time with daily prompts for unpicking and reflecting. A few weeks back the suggestion was to collate a metaphorical (or literal) time-capsule, to render memory of what has helped us cope during lockdown times into a tangible memory toolkit for future reminiscing.

Instagram post 2298631962860305846_1834319035 Joel Meyerowitz stated that the best street photographers as those who are ‘skilled in the art of disappearing’ as he paid homage to the woman pictured above - Vivian Maier.
She worked as a nanny in Chicago in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and lived in obscurity, until 2009 when her penchant for documenting life through the lens was uncovered after she died at the age of 83. The 100,000 odd images she had captured and squirrelled away in a room she forbade anyone to enter are now compared with those of the greats.
What made Maier’s perspective unique was the licence she had to be out on the streets, given her role as nanny. She captured the lesser acknowledged pockets existing within society at the time with silent and secret observance. Anna Fox has been quoted saying “as a woman you have a privileged position. Women develop relationships with people they are photographing. There’s a subtle irony and gentleness that is particular to the female gaze." We think of Vivian Maier as a humble master of a perspective that tells a bigger story of creative identity, recognition, and diligence in quiet. In her own words, “Nothing is meant to last forever. We have to make room for other people. It’s a wheel. You get on, you have to go to the end, then somebody has the same opportunity to go to the end, and somebody else takes their place.”
