How often Sam walks while conversing with (being informed by) someone in the know. Today's examples -- esp. the first -- suggest to me a method therein --perhaps gleaned from experience: that learning while walking helps to remember. This was suggested to me by the matter of a poem by Mark Jarman, "The Rote Walker," in which he (pastor's son) memorizes/internalizes Scripture while walking (for that purpose) -- a technique he learned by experiment -- perhaps like Sam?
