My 2011 Walk in the Woods is complete. 65.27 miles according to my trusty pedometer and that is a mile and a half beyond my goal of a mile for every year old I am. My time in the woods has been awesome!
I had challenged myself to give serious contemplation to what I called a "triad of three R's" : Relationships, Reflection and Renewal" and I think I accomplished all three. I had time away from Norm-- my rock and my best friend. Time away always makes me appreciate him even more for the unique and wonderful guy he is. I had time with friends this week - new friends and old - and feel our relationships deepened 'in the woods," so to speak. :-) I also had time to reflect on relationships in general: What is, and what is not, important to me in the people I chose to spend my time with, as well as how I chose to spend the time I have left. (Yes, folks, we do each have a limited amount of that left ! LOL) I spent time reflecting on Nature and on The Great Mystery and came home refreshed and renewed in both body and Spirit.
Yes my time in the farmlands and the forests of Iowa was for me time well spent. Who knows, it just may need to begun an annual pilgrimage that I take.....or,,,,perhaps I'll think up another adventure! It's all good. Yes, it's all very, very good....and the beat goes on.
Peace & Most Positive Thoughts,
