What can we discover by walking slowly?

Walking slowly can lead to deeper experiences and discoveries about one's surroundings. Rolf Potts discusses the concept of "flanéuring," which involves strolling through your own city without a strict agenda, breaking from routine to see and experience things anew. This approach encourages looking for details and themes in your surroundings, like the color red or specific objects, that you might normally overlook if moving too quickly or with a set plan. Flanéuring is a way to re-engage with familiar environments in a new and more meaningful way, discovering both the seen and the unnoticed aspects of daily life 1.
