I’m reading Will Self’s book Psychogeography and came across this defence of walking:
I’ve taken to long-distance walking as a means of dissolving the mechanized matrix which compresses the space-time continuum, and decouples human from physical geography. So this isn’t walking for leisure–that would be merely frivolous, or for exercise–which would be tedious.
Indeed. My toe seems better, and I’m looking forward to dissolving the matrix which compresses space-time later this week.
