Walking

I discovered a couple of years ago that when I need to calm my mind and spirit, I don’t need tons of ice cream, just a brisk walk works for me.

In a bad day without realizing it, I walked for hours and it was not until the dark night sky alerted me that it was late and therefore I had to return, that I stopped walking aimlessly to head home; but what would have happened if I had no place to return to? Would I have started walking in circles?

According to Alexz Johnson in the song “Walking”, it would have been a possibility.

The first time I heard this song, I didn’t understand anything because my level of English was basic to zero, I liked the rhythm and the singer’s voice, that’s why I kept listening to the song.

Some time later, from playing the song so much, I learned the lyrics and also discovered the translation, which made me like the song more; because I understood that it speaks of courage, you know enough courage to break the cycle and overcome the fear of ending the routine, to give way to new directions and find what we want, what we need, what we deserve.

How many times for fear of the unknown, we prefer to stay in our comfort zone and even if we are not having a good time, we let fear cloud our judgment and keep us in the habit of what is known.

“My feet won’t bring to him”, is one of my favorite verses and I think it could be the beginning of a new chapter in your life, at least it was in mine.

I hope you like this song, it inspires you and maybe it can even help you take that step you need.

Until next time
