Wanderregeln
- Walk whenever possible
- Which means: Avoid transportation unless absolutely necessary
- A lot of interesting things happens in the interstitial “boring” areas between “good” and “suboptimal” walking spaces, and these spaces are often “fast-forwarded” via transportation
- No mental “teleporting:”
- No podcasts
- No social media
- No news sites
- Yes to many things:
- Yes to being “present” (you know: there, aware, conversant)
- Yes to entering as many funky looking cafes, diners, barbershops as possible
- Yes to chatting up elderly farmers galore
- With an almost religious fervency, perform the following creative acts every single day:
- Take a portrait of someone before ten a.m.
- Film five minutes of “nothing exciting” happening somewhere along the road
- Record a five minute binaural audio snippet
- Publish a newsletter
- Finally: Rules that vibrate with a quondam urgency may no longer be useful; always be willing to break or bend them
