Timely article Chris for a few reasons here. One, your experience with walking in a balanced way is pertinent to my situation with a herniated disc in the lumbar spine and pain free mobility as I both recover and go forth. Secondly, your point about mingling with the masses when living a relatively quiet life on the ranch. We also live this way and are raising two teenage sons. Taking them to the big city as we happen to do once in a blue moon has been a challenging experience for both. Both have displayed controlling behaviour at times which I now appreciate is born from not being desensitised and adapted to the sheer magnitude of modern metropolitan life. They are simply trying to cope with the chaos and machinery. Whereas my wife and I, even though we are now virtual bumpkins have several years of experience with the town and city life so it’s easier for us to switch, even though the impacts on us to are noticeable. I have realised that our boys reaction is a healthy one. The visceral somatic experience is a whole different animal to the virtual one they get when using their screen based devices.
