Two Loop Walk #12: Well-being

Well-being

The sky is dull grey, the air warm (-9C) and there is a brisk wind tormenting the birch trees. All the snow is off them now although a couple still cling to the crumpled brown leaves from last year. Today I am at ease. My mind is loose and ripples over the course of my life. I wonder how it is I have come to this moment in this place. Oh, I know the facts of how I got there, but the deeper story still eludes me. Yet the older I get, the more I sense there is a reason to it all, that everything fits together like a puzzle. That my being here in these moment in these woods somehow contributes to the well-being of everything else.


We must be careful for our lives because we are part of everything else and when we hurt, everything hurts with us.

Easy to hold everything in respect on a lazy Saturday when I have space in my day. Let’s see how I do when I am harried with work and sleeplessness.
