Understanding this quote
The sentence describes “it” as moving without a particular destination or practical goal. The walk is worthwhile simply because it is a walk, not because it leads somewhere. “So to speak” signals that this is a figurative way of describing aimless movement, while keeping the focus on enjoying or following the act itself.
