God speed …

… The Speed of Our Souls—and Our Soles | Christianity Today. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

… it isn’t necessary to buy the argument about recovering Christianity’s “lost” discipline (a “physical” discipline that is also a “spiritual” discipline) in order to profit selectively from Buchanan’s many-sided reflections on walking and the Christian life. Some readers may connect particularly with his account of “Walking as Prayer,” others with “Walking as Attentiveness” (one of my favorite chapters) or “Walking as Suffering.” I can’t imagine many readers making their way through the book without several such experiences of deep resonance and illumination.

As a walker myself, limited and slowed down by achy knees, I prefer to think of walking as walking.
