Walkabout refers to a rite of passage where male Australian Aborigines would undergo a journey during adolescence and live in the wilderness for a period as long as six months
I often go walkabout, not for six months, when I want to think about things. Growing up on the coast whenever I was upset about something, in a bit of trouble or didn’t have enuf money I’d go walkabout on the beach for a few hours and I’d always feel better when I got back. I’m not sure if it was the exercise or just the time thinking but it is something that works for me.
Then the next question is, of course: what’s bothering you, Dave?
I hope if you had a short walkabout today, that it did help…
