"C.S. Lewis describes his joy in walking through the countryside, how he made it a regular practice. He said that he felt automobile travel was disruptive for the soul, that the human being was meant to live at the pace of walking. I dismissed him as an antique. Doesn't it sound quaint? Nobody walks anymore. We're irritated when the guy in front of us drives five miles UNDER the speed limit. And doesn't that reveal how given over we are to the pace of the world? Frantic - that is how the world lives."
