A recent article in The New Yorker by Ferris Jabr Why Walking Helps Us Think offers much to ponder as we wander. It is filled with many helpful links to further accounts both old and new. ( the link to Adam Gopnik writing re walking in NYC was superb)....Enjoy!

And as Nietzsche famously said ...
"All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking," and “Only ideas won by walking have any value.”

For more to ponder as you wander you might like to read A Philosophy of Walking by Frederic Gros.
