Walk #4

Instructions: Go for a long walk. This being the final walk of the official curriculum, let's end with some amplification. Let's sing our way out the door, letting the tendrils of voices or glockenspiels or kazoos or Telecasters carry us over hill and dale. It matters not whether you listen to The Muppets or The Modern Lovers or Mahler or your own damn whistling self. Just walk with a tune, and think about what it means to augment your interactions with the world. Does music heighten the act, or complete it? Does it distance you from some things, or bring you closer? Walk on.
