I've grown to love these little brown signs. I see the hikers and know that a pleasant journey is just ahead of me. Through the woods, beside a river...whatever nature has in store, whatever the season, I've learned that I won't be disappointed by all that there is to discover along the trail.
As we walked back down this trail last weekend, I noticed these small rocks that someone had balanced atop a larger boulder in the midst of the rushing water. I snapped a photo because I thought... this is how these walks make me feel. My feet take my body AND my soul on a journey when I hike. Not only am I physically strengthened and rewarded, but my inner self seems led out of the faster pace of a life rushing on by and towards peace and balance.
Truth be told, it's this inner journey that draws me back to the woods over and over again.

ReplyDeleteNature fills many of our needs if we simply take the time to listen and walk among the rivers and the trees.
