6.03.25: How We Walk

I’ve been noticing how people walk when they’re alone versus when they’re with someone. Solo walkers usually move faster, head down, straight lines. But when you’re with someone, your pace shifts. You sync. You pause. You gesture more. It’s subtle, but it’s real. We literally move through the world differently depending on who’s beside us. Makes me wonder how many other things we adjust without realizing. Tone, posture, even path. We’re fluid like that. Maybe that’s what connection actually is — not just shared words, but shared motion. Walking in rhythm with someone might be the simplest kind of intimacy.
