These things we notice
The odd buoyancy of moss
Beneath our boots
The incessant murmur
Of cold water
A shaft of light
Breaking through the canopy
A small illumination
Of the world beneath
A quiet point of passage
I love hiking and love even more the ability it has to help me clear my head.
If you’d like to see some more passages, my fantasy novel, The Guests of Honor, is available here.

Lovely. You bring the scene to life so vividly. š
Thank you. These kinds of walks sit so vividly in my head. I’m so happy that I can share some of that with other people. I can’t imagine my life without having these spaces to re-center my thoughts.
