Monday

love hiking in the woods II

then there is always the adventure...
that keeps me coming back for more....
the simple knowledge that these great places...
can only be seen by foot....
i enjoy the challenge of getting to a certain place..
by my own means....
it is worth every step...

every ouch..
bug bite and any other discomfort along the way....
just to know that they will soon be forgotten..
with the first aah or wow (view)....

i hike for the views...
the ones that can sometimes take your breath away...
such as eating lunch on the side of the mountain...

you can never get these great views from the concrete jungle most of us call home...
the only way to experience this perfect feeling of awe and aah is to hike it...
furthermore..
i love listening to and hopefully seeing the many animals (or signs of them)
and creatures of the forest....
i am thankful to them for sharing their homes with me...
i love that someday..

hopefully..
we will see a bear...
i love the flowers and the trees that surround me....
i love the way being out there makes me feel...
refreshed relaxed and carefree....
i love the smell of the woods...

sound of the crunch from leaves as you walk...
the sounds of the animal and the overwhelming feeling that i have when all of my senses are being enlightened....
one of the most important reasons i love to be outdoors is that i love to share these experiences.. with the people my family and friends..
because of sharing these experiences we all grow closer and individually....

i love the outdoors..
it goes beyond words...
it's the feelings and the views and the enjoyment of spending time...
with the people that i love and sharing these experiences with them...
the bear went over the mountain...
but as long as my feet will take me there...
i intend to keep going up those mountains and around every possible bend to see...

p/s: not all who wander are lost...
