Walking

The act of walking without a destination is a hard skill to acquire. At first your legs are reluctant to move; you must provide motivation, often a lie like "I am going to the mailbox on the corner." Of course once you get to the mailbox you keep going, and suddenly your legs feel wobbly and confused. It is very hard not to stop, especially if anyone is watching you. "They must know we don't belong here," your legs tell you. "Let's stop." But if you give in and stop, a worse problem emerges - "what are you doing just standing there?"
