“Solvitar ambulando,” attests a Latin phrase attributed to St. Augustine. “It is solved by walking.”
Not everything, of course, is solved by walking. But a good deal is. Walking awakens the profound healing power of the human spirit and carries it into each cell with chemicals that change the way you feel. And it doesn’t take very long.
