There is no comparison between taking a two-mile walk through the fairly urban neighborhood where I live versus a two-mile walk through the woods. To be able to pause and listen to nothing but trees shushing, birds calling, a brook gurgling … everything is both so still and so full of motion. I feel all the tension drain from me, and then I fill up with all the peace. In warm weather I can stop and watch a daddy long legs ballet-step across the path. In winter I’m astounded at how many creatures share the path — the only sign that they are there are their prints in the snow.
