Walking the walk

Someone asked me: "How can you even walk without seeing the duality of ground vs air?"

That's easy. (walk, walk, walk)

If you are not thinking, do you have any trouble walking? If the mind is silent, and there are no ideas about "ground" or "air" or "duality," is walking affected in any way?

In total mental silence the heart continues to pump blood, the lungs continue to breathe, and the body walks, talks, drives a car, fixes a meal, and even reads (though reading in mental silence requires a fair amount of practice).
