Don’t go anywhere. But a walk isn’t going anywhere. A walk is going nowhere, slowly

Until the now times, walking, as habit, seems most associated with a cul-de-sac gossip-gang or a brusque lone intellectual on a daily constitutional before writing proverbs. This is not the propulsion behind walking now. Something that was so mild, so endlessly benign, is now teeming with the stuff of life. Walking now, as I see it from the other side of the dog leash, is a way of clinging to a last edge of a world that we shouldn’t be out in.
My walks are distracted, messy, furious, filled with doubt and punctuated with small and essential signs of life. They aren’t self-disciplined new routines — three miles before coffee! — they’re huffing and multitask-y. I furiously text while half-listening to a book on tape, stalling the dog to sniff something he doesn’t care about while I mess with letter combos for online scrabble. I’m on the phone with my parents too loudly, scolding them about playing cards with their neighbors.
Outside, there are signs of life. It also feels important to see strangers, to acknowledge each other with stoic nods from across the street. People are sitting on every balcony where I’ve never seen people sit before. Then again, I haven’t walked so much before.
