the blogger takes a walk

Still Life with Spider Plant and Hubcaps

Something else I've been thinking about lately is walking. The latest issue of Poetry magazine has a feature called "The Poet Takes a Walk." I'm particularly partial to A.E. Stalling's essay "Athens: Peripatetic Fragments."

I'm working on a longer essay about it myself, but thought I'd share a couple of still lives (still lifes?) that I took on a recent stroll around the condominium.

And a quote from Peter Cole's essay, Jerusalem, in that same issue:

"Walking is a way of deferring arrival, but also a way of making it possible."
