An occasion of coconut breaking( a village celebration) is the first few steps of a child, who makes it on his own, leading him on to a life time of exploration and adventure of taking steps.
It is such a pleasure to see a child balancing and walking around, also the aged who with the aid of a walking stick make it back to the house after a simple stroll.
These days it has become a common feature, seeing early morning walkers gaily swinging their arms and brisk walking on the roads, some talking along their partners, others alone as others can't keep pace with their speed and talking .
The health care personnel's recommendation into walking is seriously taken for the concerned with the rich mans diseases now prevalent to all,not that all have become rich ,but the middle and poor have copied the rich man in many things, to become tense.
It is actually the feeling of being free and relaxed during and after the walk that one seems to get up early for the stroll. Many pilgrimages, have walking up a mountain or a long trail to reach a temple as a package of vows. May they all be blessed with what they seek.
There are times when walking to a place of work is considered a mark of ill times and many would politely enquire what has happened to a vehicle, some even offering a lift to the work station, little realizing we are just having a pleasurable walk.
There are many who do not have normal limbs or are unable to use them , there are others who have lost the ability to co ordinate the mind and the limbs, others who have missed them through calamities .
We are lucky to have them and have them function. May we use them to enjoy the benefits of their presence, as source of joy to the heart and an exercise to the physical body
Lets” take a walk”.
