Of winter's lifeless world each tree Now seems a perfect part; Yet each one holds summer's secret Deep down within its heart. ~Charles G. Stater

. . . . After Aristotle died, in 322 B.C.E, many of his students formed the Peripatetic school, a group of wandering lecturers named after the Greek ‘peripatetikos’ (walking). The ancient sages of India and Nepal would stay at home during the rainy season, but as soon as it ended, they too would be in motion, thinking and teaching. The Buddha, Jesus, Augustine, Rousseau, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Emerson, Thoreau, James, Rimbaud -- all of them, and many more, were walkers. Thoreau, one of the truly greatest wanderer-thinkers, writes, “Methinks that the moment my legs begin to move my thoughts begin to flow.” The twentieth-century analytic philosopher Ledwig Wittgenstein often visited his collaborator and friend Bertrand Russell in the early evenings, and Wittgenstein would pace the floor of Russell’s apartment for hours, cogitating and ambulating. As the evening grew late, he would tell Russell that he planned to commit suicide when he left, presumably when his feet came to rest. So Russell would urge him to stay, on the move -- alive. ~ Page132
