Take a Walk - A Very Ritchie Series (No.46)

A mother’s son became very angry and exchanged harsh words. The mother told her son, “go take a walk.” The son complied in disgust. He stomped out of the room then out of the house and began to walk the neighborhood. As he walked, he mumbled to himself complaining about how his mother was unfair. At times he would stomp grumbling as he rehearsed the event. He eventually returned home where his mother was waiting. As he walked up to her, she could see the expression on his face was one of anger. As she asked how he was feeling, he began to vent that anger towards her. She raised her arm pointing to the sidewalk and said again, “go take a walk.” He stomped away. As he took that second walk, his thoughts began to change. He rehearsed his mother’s words instead of his own. The realization of his disrespect and belligerence became apparent. The further he walked the more labored his footsteps became; finally returning home. As he opened the door his drooped shoulders and bowed head told his mother the condition of his heart.
