A Joyful Walk in the Woods





This magical pathway is a section of the AT just moments from my house, and 2 miles North on the trail... I discovered it a few weeks ago when my mom and I did the 20 mile section from Pine Grove to Caledonia and I think it'll be my new walking place. Dancing through the corridor of Rhododendron to the sound of water splashing a few feet away, it feels as though I've entered a sacred grove of the ancients, their wisdom breathing me, from the inside out, wide open and... free.
It's amazing how close adventure is, so easily found around the corners of our everyday world, as we pause to study it from new angles, in different light...
My heart is filled with gratitude for this sacred day.
