Thanks for reading Spirandi Ombrevôtre! This post is public so feel free to share it.BE WALKING WITH NICKYKeep Me AccountableWhat happens when difference becomes the greatest strength ?If you think differently, you’re welcome.I’m out walking.There is something about a morning walk that makes the world less complicated. You put on your shoes. You open the door. One foot goes before the other. For a while, there is nothing else to solve.Perhaps that is why I like it.Walking is exercise, certainly. But that is not really what I mean when I say be walking. I mean movement. I mean changing your position, even if only by a few streets. I mean allowing yourself to see something you did not intend to see.A bird crossing the pavement.Three birds lifting suddenly from a tree.Someone cooking curry at ten in the morning.A woman whose clothes make the pavement briefly into a catwalk.A rose.The sky.Water catching the light.Things we ordinarily pass without seeing.We are strange creatures. We can carry a thousand thoughts into a single morning and still fail to notice the tree beside us.Yet every leaf is different.Think about that.Someone, somewhere, once decided that a tree should be like this. And then, somehow, no two leaves quite managed to agree.I like that.Perhaps because I have spent a great deal of my life noticing difference.Some people want things to remain as they are. They call this stability. They call it sense. Change arrives and they look at it as though somebody has moved the furniture while they were asleep.But change is part of the design.It is what keeps us looking.You cannot have the same morning twice.You cannot walk the same road in exactly the same way. You are different. The weather is different. The light is different. Something has happened to you since yesterday, even if you cannot yet say what it is.And so you walk.Sometimes quickly. Sometimes slowly.I like both.I like being able to suddenly break into a run, just because I can. And I like stopping because something has caught my attention.That, too, feels important.Knowing when to move.Knowing when to stop.Knowing when to look.Knowing when something does not feel right and changing direction.There is a kind of intelligence in that which we rarely talk about.We talk about intelligence as though it lives in books and qualifications and people who have the confidence to give answers.But sometimes intelligence is simply noticing.Noticing the car before it reaches you.Noticing the change in someone's voice.Noticing the pattern because you have seen it before.Noticing the mistake before somebody else makes it.And this is where difference becomes useful.The person who asks too many questions may not be trying to be difficult.Perhaps they have noticed something you haven't.The person who says, I've seen this before, may not be trying to control the conversation.Perhaps they remember what happened last time.We don't always recognise experience when it arrives in another person.Sometimes we call it annoying.Sometimes we call it overthinking.Sometimes we tell people to stop asking questions.And then, much later, we discover they were looking further down the road.I think about this when I walk.My brain is busy taking in everything. The tree. The water. The dog. The woman in the coat. The sound of somebody opening a door.We see thousands of things and remember almost none of them.Perhaps the brain knows what it is doing.Perhaps it takes what it needs and lets the rest go.There was a lesson at school once about leaves falling from trees.We had all seen it happen.Thousands of times.But could any of us remember the particular leaf?Of course not.Memory isn't interested in keeping everything.It keeps the lesson.Perhaps that is what a walk does too.You leave carrying one thing you didn't have when you started.Sometimes you don't even know what it is.I have my favourite walks, particularly in the morning.They reset something in me.They give me a second wind.They remind me that I don't have to rush towards the next thing simply because everyone else appears to be rushing.I can walk.I can look.I can breathe.I can notice.And perhaps that is enough for now.I don't want this podcast always to be about teaching you something.Sometimes I want to think out loud.Sometimes I'll bring somebody with me.Sometimes I'll bring my family.Sometimes I'll tell you a story.Sometimes I'll start with a question and see where it takes us.I like doing things differently.I've always been rather good at that.So this is a podcast about life, ideas, people, and the things we discover while we are moving through them.Not necessarily the things we intended to discover.The things that catch us on the way.So, if you have been thinking differently, questioning things, or seeing the world from another angle, come walking with me.And keep looking.Keep noticing.Keep walking.Walk good.
