About

Walking Letters started with a simple observation: I do my best thinking on foot. Not at a desk, not on a screen. Walking, where the body is busy and the mind wanders. Most of what I've ever figured out arrived that way, a few miles in, unannounced.

This is a place for that. I write a letter. You take it on a walk. Somewhere along the way it turns into something of your own, and you write back. Sometimes your letter becomes the next one here. Sometimes a letter comes in first, and I'm the one who walks on it and answers.

There's no moderator and nothing to sign up to argue about. It isn't a comments section and it isn't a feed. It's correspondence between people who think on foot.

I'm not an authority on walking, or on being human, and I'm wary of anyone who claims to be. I'm just someone who notices that the most alive thinking happens in a body, moving through a world. This is an attempt to keep doing that out loud, together.

If you've thought something while walking, write to me: letters@walkingletters.com
