A Thought For Your Walk

A horizontal stroll through life is one way to do it, fairly safe for you. Stepping sideways, carefully avoiding catastrophe; such as falling off the roof or plunging through the floor. Things you have not done before, or even wish to do. A vertical sprint to life hints at an edge, living life up to it! Climbing and striving artfully, also avoiding catastrophe. Things you have not done before; learning that falling or plunging may be things you adore. Perhaps a combination jog is best, neither perpendicular nor parallel; a sort of sprint-stroll, or stray-dash, which also includes a rest. All things you have done before, or wish to, or wish not to do. Whether up or down or side to side, your walk is always you.
