Great essay. Everyone needs to find their one activity that helps them to their creative space within. I think it’s running or hiking for a lot of people. Walking used to be a big factor for me, before I became disabled. I try stationary cycling; it gives me needed exercise, but I just don’t get that same feeling of inspiration and connectedness. I still feel exhilarated when I’m well enough to get out with my camera and tramp around fields and forest taking pictures, or walking around the seaside.
