A Surprising Question

"When you go for a long walk, what do you think about?" I was standing at the skytrain when a stranger asked me this question. I was a little surprised but interested at the same time.

So, I started to think. This is what I realized. Some days I think about nothing (brain is dead or taking a break). Some days I just like to listen to music and get into the lyrics. Some days I walk and enjoy the scenery. Other days I think about what I have read. But, I would say that most of the time-whether I am listening to music or not- I make up stories in my head. Maybe I am a hero. Maybe I meet a famous person. Maybe I create a story about the person walking in front of me or that I just passed. . . .I make up stories about any and everything.

So, now I am asking you to think about the question "When you go for a long walk, what do you think about?"
