Un día redondo - A great day

Soren Kierkegaard Quote:
Sobre todo, no pierdas el deseo de caminar: cada día camino hacia un estado de bienestar y me alejo de toda enfermedad; he caminado hacia mis mejores pensamientos, y no conozco ningún pensamiento tan agobiante que uno no pueda alejarse de él.
Además, también es evidente que al caminar uno se acerca constantemente lo más posible al bienestar, aunque no lo alcance del todo.
Por otro lado sentándose quieto, y cuanto más se está sentado quieto, más cerca se está de sentirse enfermo. La salud y la salvación sólo se encuentran en el movimiento... si uno sigue caminando, todo irá bien.
