Walking (and music) has been my constant through so much of life, a thread weaving me to my own survival. Without it (and music), I don’t think I’d endure. No matter the season—of weather or heart—walking never fails to bring me solace. This is a compilation of photos from my regular paths: the familiar journey from work to home, intertwined with the quieter, heavier steps from the hospital to work. It’s accompanied by a piano piece I played (and composed) spontaneously on one of my hardest days, a melody born from challenges and the need to keep moving forward.
