I’m trying to get back into regular walking shape,
my back much better after injections and physical therapy.
The other day as I walked, I was so deep in thought
that when I looked up and ahead, focusing on
where I was going, I knew I was moving east
because I could see the sun rising
from that direction. But then, wait,
was I? Shaking my head and looking around,
I had that creeping up on me strange realization
that I was actually traveling west, toward the sun
going down, and I was walking now into a valley of
mountain shadows that would soon be shading me.
I’d lost track of the time, and all the hours
had passed so quickly into the late afternoon.

Today’s word is
walking
Use it to inspire a piece of writing, and then post that piece as a comment below. I would love to read it : )
