The Walkers

We have walked about 30,000 miles together. That’s more than once around the circumference of the earth. On clear mornings a sliver moon greets us. Autumn brings magic. From summer’s green comes a cacophony of color. Winter evenings are deeply dark. Light the torch to check the footing.
“Hey, you’re the walkers.” Our neighbors cheer. “Are you married?”
“Almost forty-five years…to each other. We’ve had many stumbles, a few un-calamitous falls but always get back up.”
“So what do you talk about?” A few have asked this. We communicate in silence. Each small step a giant leap for matrimony.
