Walking Becoming Change Quotes

“Boots have grown limp; clothes have settled natural skin-like rumples: the stick is warm and smooth to the touch: the map slides easily in and out of pockets, lubricated like dog's ears: every article in the knapsack has found its natural place, and the whole has settled onto the shoulders. The equipment is no longer an armour of which we are conscious. At the start this coat was a glorious thing to face the world in: now it is merely an outer skin. At the start this stick was mine: now it is myself.”
― A H Sidgwick, Walking essays
