Walk

We are unique among Earth-bound life, in that we are bipeds possessed with the propensity to make productive use of our forearms (i.e., to perform manual tasks) even as we locomote ourselves across the landscape. Consider the marvel of neuro-biomechanical engineering that is our singular human construction: a developmental legacy that—through constraints and capacities absent any other creature—determines even the gestation period and developmental priorities of our offspring. We are, first and foremost, born to walk.

When we willfully abstain from the exercise of this essential aspect of our being, we reap the consequences to our personal and communal health—physiological, sociological, psychological, economic, and spiritual. To deny our pedestrian potential is to deny the soul itself. If we were meant to sit on our collective assess, God would have given us wheels. Stand up, put one foot in front of the other, and reclaim your heritage as a human being.

Start walking.
