Slow Down, Wake Up & Connect
Through stories from a cross-country walking journey, we traveled alongside hawks, rain-soaked highways, unexpected ātrail angels,ā and children rediscovering play. We explored walking as resistance, as dignity, as vulnerability, as human right. We felt the discomfort of mobility injustice. We remembered the innocence of wonder.
