Attending closely to movement reveals a whole vivid soundscape within walking

Evidence

By feeling the motion of my feet as they rolled from heel, to blade, to the balls and toes, I was aware for the very first time of the very structure and nature of my feet. How well designed they are for walking, and how functional. It was such a soothing and deep feeling. Then I began to notice the presence of sound, the creaking wood floor beneath my feet, the shuffle of socks against the lacquer, and the swish of jean fabric against itself. — Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening, 431
