I appreciate your thoughts very much. I hope that if I undertake the city version of the walking story that you might steer me to the hidden nooks and crannies of NYC? Already having fun contemplating what music would accompany the city sequel.

Even though this particular walk was on my home trails which happen to be more of mother nature than city scape, I do adore a good city walk, as well. And the streets of Manhattan are amongst my favorite. Totally different, but yet somewhat the same in the experience of being lost in the flow of it all. Now you have me thinking about a city version of the walk video. I think that could be some good fun!

I got carried away in the true spirt of a flaneur, strolling by, observing and then moving on.

He used the word “flaneur” for one who was a walker, stroller or observer of city life. I’ve spent many hours in that mode. So while your perambulations (I’ve always wanted to use that word at least once in my life) are of a rural nature the spirit is similar: They both represent a complete philosophical way of living and thinking.
So how about we meet half-way, Lucy?
Charlie
