Reading While I Walk

Now for the haiku.

Move quickly, surely,
Eyes glancing around the words.
Reading and walking.

I really adore reading while I walk.It's much more enjoyable when walking a route I've taken before, so that the terrain is familiar. Smooth, unbroken sidewalks are extremely important. When I'm walking to Fabric Row (which I've done three times in the

Oh goodie, I've found another member of the secret sect! ^_~

Isn't it nice? Very meditative...

I just suddenly remembered that when I was a kid, I used to try to read and hula-hoop at the same time. :)
I like your idea of tightrope-walking! How about doing balance-beam exercises and reading? Now I'm thinking of how to read in all areas of my life... ;)

Hi- I found you through craftgrrl. The Galliano jacket is great, and I am certainly impressed that you can pull it off (the sewing and wearing). What I really wanted to say is that I always read on my way to class! People may look at me strangely, but it's so relaxing and actually helps me walk faster. Yay for reading!

Hurrah! Another talented reading-walker! ;)
Plus you have so much more time to enjoy those books you'd never get to otherwise.

The other day it was raining and I was walking and reading with my umbrella in one hand and my book in the other. I got particularly strange looks that day, and I realized that reading while carrying an umbrella in the rain really is pretty odd. But so much fun! The rain on the umbrella creates a little cocoon around me. In a way it's even nicer than regular - a bit more challenging, but really wonderful. Do you ever balance an umbrella and still read?

ooh, sounds like fun. I've never tried it. Usually I don't even use an umbrella unless it's cold and raining. I like the rain!

LOL, me too!! Another rare breed - people who like rain. ;) I grew up in Portland (Oregon) so I love the rain and grey, cloudy weather. It always makes me feel more alive than those hot, still, sunny days.
