- People would smile at each other when they passed (they might even say "hello")
- Kids on skateboards would be fun to watch
- Your dog would be with you, all of the time
- Sweats and sneakers would be acceptable everyday wear
- If you are moving more slowly than someone else it's not a sign of your incompetence, it is only a sign of the choice of your mode of mobility
- Silence
- Making a friendly comment to a stranger would not mean you were weird
- Windblown hair would be a positive status symbol
- Color would be noticed
- The sound of running water would not mean something was broken and flooding
- Observing wildlife would be the norm, not a novelty
- "On your left" or "On your right" would never mean anything political
- The need to talk would be negated by a squeeze of the hand or a glance and grin
- Sitting to rest, and watch, and letting everything pass you by would not put you behind
- You would hear new sounds, pleasant sounds, sounds that did not mean your car was dying
- Kids could be kids
- Adults could be kids
- The shortest distance between two points may be a straight line, but the path would make you go the long way to appreciate the effort it takes to get there
If everyday were like a walk on the parkway......
