Everyday I leave my apartment and walk on the bike path to the Davis Square T station for school or trivia. People are walking, walking with dogs, jogging, and biking along the path with an easy, relaxed mood. One nice sunny Wednesday morning, I was on my way to school. A couple in front of me responded to the wonderful weather. Their movements made the scene more beautiful.
The man kept the same marching-like andante rhythm while he was walking, always with light effort in his paces, lengthening quality on his upper body. His left hand was in his pocket all the time while he placed his right arm gently on the woman's shoulder. The lady rested her left arm on the man's waist and her right arm swung to and fro with slight free flow energy. Sometimes they walked to the same beat; sometimes she had her own pattern of strides. She changed the rhythm from andante to allegro with quick and sustained efforts. Several times she even jumped aside, left the man's arm, danced in a delighted way, suddenly made pirouettes with light effort and a screw shape. After a couple of turns, she went back to the man's arm, back to the concert.
