Thank you so much for this. I’ve been having a heavy time lately and the darkness has felt like a lot. I love the idea of a walking practice!

One other thing I noticed this week is that my sluggishness/heaviness can also be alleviated by drinking water. I realized that I don't hydrate nearly enough in the winter. That doesn't cure the existential ills, but a physical lift can help!

I just did a morning walk inspired by your post, and found light everywhere. Sometimes I forget that living in a basement suite with no direct light can greatly add to the sadness!
