enjoy walking

Why walk fast,
If we enjoy walking slowly?

Birds are a part of the puzzle,
Intelligence is part of the puzzle,
The trees too,

Walking alone allows you to find other pieces
missing.



Pourquoi marcher vite,
Si on apprécie de marcher lentement ?

Les oiseaux sont une partie du puzzle,
L’intelligence est une partie du puzzle,
Les arbres aussi,

Marcher permet de trouver d’autres pièces
manquantes.

Ink Empress Date: 3/3/2025 7:34:00 AM Dear Yann, This is such a calm poem, your poetic voice is so soft and smooth, and i agree sometimes we need to slow down, go with the flow, embrace littl things around us , and sometimes walking alone can give us so many answers. I love how youv written "Birds are a part of the puzzle, Intelligence is part of the puzzle, The trees too," so much depth in that! Pleasure reading you today. Sending you light always Login to Reply Yann Rolland Date: 3/7/2025 1:16:00 AM dear ie, thank you very much for the supportive words, your voice is so precious , have a nice week end

Alesia Leach Date: 3/1/2025 5:40:00 PM Your poem has a gentle, meditative quality, encouraging mindfulness and appreciation for the act of walking. The repetition of "puzzle" as a metaphor for life and discovery is a nice touch--it suggests that by slowing down, we can notice the missing pieces that might otherwise be overlooked.

Joe Maverick Date: 3/1/2025 1:20:00 PM After my walk through this, I feel more relaxed Already. As if it was 'long form you end up running to get to the finish.' Good one Yank.' Login to Reply Yann Rolland Date: 3/2/2025 11:36:00 PM thank you so much Joe for the supportive words blessings

Hilda Greenhough Date: 3/1/2025 7:33:00 AM I enjoy this helpful thought, and the French translation. I have learned a new French word; vite must be adverb fast. I think you've inspired me to learn French. I'm also going to get back to walking. Login to Reply Yann Rolland Date: 3/1/2025 9:29:00 AM thank you so much Hilda for the supportive comment,, yes "vite" means "fast", more used in french than "rapide" enjoy your sunday

Mystic Rose Rose Date: 2/28/2025 5:04:00 PM When you walk too fast you get to miss out on things that you might otherwise have enjoyed through as slow walk. Nice poem. Login to Reply Yann Rolland Date: 3/1/2025 3:25:00 AM thanks Rose for being so supportive, blessings

Valsa George Date: 2/28/2025 3:45:00 AM Walking is a good exercise. It activates our mind and body. Brisk walking is more advisable than walking slow. Well said, dear Yaan.

Kim Rodrigues Date: 2/27/2025 10:31:00 AM Walking slowly and alone allow one to see and hear the world of birds, trees and other things. I hate when I come across someone wearing earbuds, who cut themselves off from the world. I might have one earbud (rarely) but am always ready to interact. Plus they are missing out on the world around them. JMO! Login to Reply Yann Rolland Date: 2/28/2025 7:32:00 AM o dear Kim, your words are solacing ad comprehensive from the world, i don't wear earbud too, prefer hear birds and trees, your comment is a very clever and supportive one, blessings to you and family
