Listening to music while walking - a rare opportunity to move through three places at once

Washington Post has a great read about the beauty of walking while listening to music (on your earphones): "In her book 'Wanderlust: A History of Walking', Rebecca Solnit writes that 'walking is a mode of making the world as well as being in it'. What a terrific definition for listening, too. Listening to music requires imagination — and listening to it while walking gives you the rare opportunity to move through three places at once: your mind, the song and your route. Somehow, instead of ripping your psyche to shreds, your brain synchronizes all three worlds effortlessly".
