Walking is continuous movement. Because of this, it is both metaphor and physical manifestation of jiyū shūkyō's commitment: an active faith to the unity of being that requires deep listening and openness to change.

Done intentionally, walking easily becomes a platform for observation, thought, and even some writing. By engaging in a practice like the contemporary derive that requires a radical and new way of seeing the world, walking could help one embody a sense of positionlessness, which is actually positionfulness.

Because of its nature, walking is a critical component of my poetics and my pursuit of my quest.
