Walk to Get a Malasada

Automobile gives us convenience to commute to destinations quickly. When driving in a car, we aim at accomplishing something by arriving at the destination, to get a malasada, to meet our date and client, to work, to pick up a child, to get a burger or a cup of coffee? Our mind is set to the destination and the task, and it is enhanced with our culture of speed. When I spend time to walk to my destination, I find myself tardy and slow, yet it is another world of discovery. I still aim at arriving at a destination, yet there will be much distractions that pull me away from my focus on the destination. I will see more interesting things in the new pace. There is actually more fun, and my body gets the work out as well! At the end, I arrive at my destination, and accomplish what I need to do. The 'loss' in time transforms to another form of enertainment and knowledge, something that I may never relize when I drive.
