- A Field Guide to Getting Lost — Rebecca Solnit, 2005
Solnit writes about walking as a way of thinking, and about what closes down in a person who has stopped moving through the world at the speed of their own legs. The book is gentle about the return. It does not require a program.
- The Straight Story — David Lynch, 1999
An old man crosses several states on a lawn mower because his body will no longer do anything faster, and the film treats this as the most natural decision in the world. It is a quiet rebuke to every form of movement that has forgotten the body it is supposed to be carrying.
- Music for Airports — Brian Eno, 1978
Not movement music exactly, but the right tempo for a body that is learning to be in itself again. The album makes space rather than filling it, which is what most sedentary lives are missing.
