What happens during a walk in a park?

You take a break from the screen.
You take a break from the box you were sitting/living in.
You are one with nature.
You learn to befriend dogs, squirrels, cats and other domestic animals hanging around without interacting with them for a minute.
You see that the ones that are consistent on their walks are also visibly fit.
You suddenly move on from something that had been loitering your mind for years.
You have the ideas for a new book.
You have the ideas for the project you have been working on.
You have the ideas for everything your mind is looking (and is not looking) for ideas on.
You understand how to respond politely yet assertively to someone without being rude and dismissive.
You forget everything you must. You remember everything you need to move forward with optimism and joy.
You realise how magnanimous you are and how little you need to prove that to everyone else.
You just keep walking. Is there anything more to life than this?
