Walking to find a solution . . .

     Exploring Facebook recenty I came across Motive for Metaphor -- a site with this introduction:

Motive for Metaphor offers poetical expressions for sharing & is inspired by a Wallace Stevens poem of the same name (available here)..

At the Motive for Metaphor website I came across a poem title that interested me greatly -- because I often walk to help my thinking .  . .  Here, below, are the opening stanzas of that poem -- Solvitur Ambulando ''It is solved by walking"  by Billy Collins;  the complete poem is available at-this-link

from“Solvitur Ambulando” by Billy Collins from The Rain in Portugal. © Random House, 2016.-- the complete poem is available here,

Previous mentions of Billy Collins in this blog may be found here.
