Solvitur Ambulando

Wanderlust
Rebecca Solnit


"The rhythm of walking generates a kind of rhythm of thinking, and the passage through a landscape echoes or stimulates the passage through a series of thoughts. This creates an odd consonance between internal and external passage, one that suggests that the mind is also a landscape of sorts and that walking is one way to traverse it."

Berlin Chronicle
Walter Benjamin

"Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography … For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and with the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have at the moment of recollection."

Unable to go for a real walk due to the lockdown, I went for a virtual wander.

A rumination on the unique mental space entered into when walking; a world of memory non sequiturs and layered thought.
