Long Distance walking, to walk without a direction, goal, or planning is an experience by itself, if one starts walking not bothering about the weather, climate, dress, footwear etc., and just walks in any direction, preferably without your cell or without your watch, then one is bound to discover certain excellent things.
What is there out in the universe is within us, we never get introduced to our own self, infact whenever there is a small opportunity to see ourselves we deny our own self, with a fear. it is comfortable for us to forget ourselves and live with the external distractions, ask people, what they do when they are alone, they fill themselves with music, books or TV, they used to escape themselves with the word, boredom.
Our mind is filled with hundreds of thoughts, and they carry so many imprints, and so many constructions, constructions of thoughts ideas and processes, the real "I" is buried under the ruble of emotions, thoughts, ideas and images.
A long walk will generally help us in slowly working our way in getting rid of the ruble, and getting ourselves introduced to the true 'i'.
While starting to walk, for the first period of time, it will be very depressing, you will want to know, when will you finish this, you will want to know where are you going, how long is the walk, will I get my snacks and drink on the way etc., these questions will have to vanish, do not logically answer them and convince yourself, instead hold the question till by itself it vanishes, then there will be more questions, what if, if you would have missed an important call? even this will have to vanish, and there will be more questions, but remember, do not answer them, do not be logical, just hold them, if possible grin at those questions, it is bound to vanish.
