"This is not an event"- A reflection by one of our walkers.

This is not an event

It is inconsequential 

One foot in front of the other 

To walk almost at midnight 

 

This is an event 

It is such a big deal

It requires a WhatsApp group

Multiple messages

Rules

Intention 

Posters being made to advertise 

Maps and journeys plotted 

To put one foot in front of the other

To walk, almost at midnight

 

This is not an event 

No one was bothered 

No one cared 

One foot in front of the other 

To walk, almost at midnight

 

This is an event 

Womxn laughing under the moonlight 

Chatting, talking, making connections 

The usual dangers… night… men… walking in the dark in South Africa mitigated because there were many feet being put one in front of the other…

Walking… almost at midnight 

 

This is not an event 

We were walking almost at midnight 

Giving the moon a chance to experience our joy that we could put one foot in front of the other, walking almost at midnight

 

To walk almost at midnight,

To start,

To end as it started,

Still whole…
