Stepping Out on World Sauntering Day

source site This is a post assembled partly while thinking about last night’s dream and partly while checking my emails this morning — makes for an interesting juxtaposition of ideas.

https://www.thephysicaltherapyadvisor.com/2024/09/18/klxmjgc The dream? A long walk across water on huge, irregular stepping-stones. The stones could have been a replica set designed by the creators of Stonehenge, the ancient English site of healing, ritual, and worship, but also a funerary and a celestial observatory. In the dream, I cautiously, tentatively, cross a sparkling turquoise-blue bay, intent on reaching the shore of pebbly rocks that always are just out of my reach.

https://boxfanexpo.com/czrgj06h Then came my morning message from Tut, a humorous, motivational email that I read every weekday. It informed me that today, June 19th, is World Sauntering Day. Tut provided a link as confirmation, and sure enough, today IS National Sauntering Day, a day dedicated to the art of sauntering.

here According to Wikipedia – a source I trust on this sort of trivia – World Sauntering Day is thought to have started at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in Michigan in the 1970s. “The Grand Hotel has the world’s longest porch, 660 feet in length. It was a counter response by W.T.Rabe to a growing movement toward the recreation of jogging. The idea of the day was to encourage people to slow down and appreciate the world around them.” Love the idea of a sauntering day!

https://boxfanexpo.com/jv3fdbvu So today I intend to take a saunter around the neighborhood pond, wander through the grocery store, and meander in my garden. It will be a nice counter-point to the arduous struggle I encountered in my dream, leaping from one low stone to another, then swimming to the next stone, taller and angular, which I climbed with the strength of a fingernail grip.

  1. https://www.thephysicaltherapyadvisor.com/2024/09/18/zc796xp8i I didn’t know about Sauntering Day, but I did “saunter” this afternoon. In a heavy rain. It was more like “slogging”.

  2. https://vbmotorworld.com/a3a91db Great idea. I usually seem to be running to the train or the next appointment.

  3. https://luisfernandocastro.com/4w7vt1nh9b Love the idea of ‘sauntering’…of ‘meandering’…of simply wandering and enjoying the day! Beautiful!

  4. source World Sauntering Day! Who knew? I love the idea of sauntering. I meander a lot, but maybe I should try sauntering. 🙂

  5. https://ragadamed.com.br/2024/09/18/qmkna4t I once had a shirt that proclaimed me a member of the “Thoreau Sauntering Club.” Wish I still had that shirt, and wish I’d known about Sauntering Day. Reckon I’ll just go declare my own Sauntering Day and be done with it, eh? Yes.
