There are few things in life that make me happier than walking on a trail in the woods. I can be by myself or with others. It can be raining, snowing, cloudy, beautiful, or anywhere in between and it still brings me great joy and peace.
There is a trail that is a favorite of mine and in the summer fields of ferns and pines flank it on either side. The first time I saw it I couldn't really believe it existed and that I could walk it whenever I wanted. (luckie me!)
A walker on this trail gets treated to the delightful smells of pine, fresh air, and mossy goodness. A walker on this trail can pick wild blueberries or see where the bears lie to sleep. A walker on this trail can forget the worries of the world and just be thankful and humble to see such a rich, green, swatch of something special.
I have many friends who also find their solace and quiet joys deep in the woods. What is it that draws us there? I think it is that quiet moment when we reconnect and remember the beauty of being a small part of something so incredible.
