We must always move forward, by chance, even on the smallest walk, driven by the spirit of eternal adventure, determined never to return.

"Walking" is based on two lectures given by Thoreau towards the end of his life (in 1862) and summarizes his ideas about nature and man as they were shaped during his permanent stay in the forests. In nature, he sees not only the beauty that surrounds him, but also all the guarantees for true freedom and personal development, since after all "all great things are wild and free". And he suggests walking, the best way to restore one's contact with nature and rediscover one's primitive and creative self, which has been corrupted and declined by the "achievements" of civilization.
