It cuts through a wild place
Ready for travel
Towering trees cheering
With each step, each new breeze.
Some are flat
Some are winding
Some switchback and climb
Others make your knees feel like they are going to explode.
No matter the type
The view
A trail, is a trail
Offering an adventure
As it pushes on, out of view.
It is amazing to me
How something nearly 24 inches wide
Can quickly become my home
My best friend
My worst fight.
When I am walking
One foot, then the other
With a trail at my feet
There is absolutely no question
Where I am going
What is my purpose
What I am leaving behind.
I easily look around
I feel the slight breeze on my face
Hear the birds
Embrace the pace
Dream about my favorite snack.
It is simple
Meaningful
Fulfilling
And so much more.
To know where you are.
Who you are.
Ahh yes, lets walk some more.
The Shady Tree 
You are the goddess of trails. I hope that I can go out with you again sometime soon 🙂
I love this, that is just how I will think of myself as I walk on a trail today! And, I love walking with you. We will do it again very soon.
