I take a step.
I plant my feet firmly on the ground.
I push against the earth; the earth pushes against me.
I move forward; the earth moves back.
I take a step.

If there are any other Physics majors out there, you might recognize Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion highlighted in this short poem. We don’t often think about how we affect the world around us, but just about every action we take affects more than just ourselves. I often recite this mindful poem when I walk Leo, our family dog, and smile when I think of the Earth moving a little bit with every step I take.
