A walk to retreat, reflect, and remember

Those who know me well know that I like to walk. I’ll try to walk the one mile to Mass every weekend (when it is being celebrated publicly), and I’ll occasionally walk the 2.5 miles to work from my apartment on Madison’s west side.
If it were up to me, I’d walk everywhere instead of driving.
In my mind, unless you’re Richard Petty or A.J. Foyt, nothing good comes from driving.
Other than for practical reasons, I’ll also go for walks to satisfy the clichéd check boxes such as “getting out of the house” and “getting my steps in”.
