Kerri and I walk arm-in-arm. We have since the moment we met, held hands, and skipped out of the airport. While walking in our neighborhood people regularly stop us to say how much they enjoy seeing us walk by. We appreciate their kindness. We do not take for granted the great gift of our second chance in life.
Appreciation takes time. We rarely fast-walk a trail. As a rule, we slow walk so we can see and appreciate what is all around us. Arm-in-arm, we take it in. The color. The smells. The feel. The sounds.The critters. The movement. The changes. We often walk the same trails yet they are never the same.
Filled with so much appreciation for the trees, we can only imagine that the trees feel the same way about us. We believe life is like that. As MoonJuice Hikes likes to say, “What goes around, comes around.”

The Direction of Intention 
[…] read DAVID’S thoughts this SATURDAY MORNING […]
Your words here remind me of John Lennon’s #9 Dream, “Took a walk down the street, through heat-whispered trees…” I had, for many years, mistakenly thought he was singing: “To be with the trees.”
At any rate, I am surprised that your posts evoke so many memories! Keep your stick on the ice.
