Sometimes
a walk in the woods
is just a walk
Sometimes it is an exploration
of scientific discovery
Sometimes it is a search for beauty
a walk filled with wonder
Sometimes it is a renewal,
a refreshing of body and spirit
Sometimes it is a hero’s journey,
an archetypal quest
Sometimes it is a forgetting,
a dropping away of the world
Sometimes it is therapy;
sometimes a meditation, or a prayer
Perhaps, after all,
a walk in the woods
is never just a walk in the woods
Makes me feel like I need to go on a walk in the woods! 🌲❤️

So much more than just a simple walk in the woods. I could use an exploration. rejuvenation and perhaps a little forgetting.

The woods are good for that. I feel sorry for people who live in cities without any woodlands nearby.
