My grandmother is ninety-two now, and she still walks every morning at sunrise. She says she's been doing it for sixty years - before her marriages, before her children, still now in her widowhood. I asked her recently why she's so consistent.
She said: 'I learned early that if you want to know somebody, you have to spend time with them. Same with God.' Then she mentioned Enoch - walked with God, and then one day he was gone. Taken. My grandmother told me that passage was her permission structure to just... walk. Not accomplish anything. Not pray about specific things. Just be present with God in her body and mind.
She won't be here forever. When I think about her legacy, it won't be her achievements - it'll be how she made me feel known. How she noticed things. How she asked about my heart. She learned that from Enoch, somehow, or intuited it. That's what walking with God produces - presence. People around you feel more real, more seen. That's her inheritance.
