Sometimes I have to really coax myself to get out of my lazy Sunday afternoon routine and go for a long walk. Eventually I realize that no one is going to be there to motivate me, so I'd better get moving on my own. And today is one day that I felt like I'd made an especially wise choice!
Perhaps the best part was having the nearby wooded path to myself. I am often a creature of solitude, and today was a splendid day for that. May Sarton, one of my favorite writers once said that "solitude is the richness of self." So it seemed today!
As I made my way along the path, I heard some rustling above me. I looked up to see two deer chasing one another. It made me smile and wish that I'd moved fast enough to capture a picture. Perhaps it was just as well;
they were doing fine on their own, without being disturbed. Not long after that I stopped and marveled at the beautiful, changing sunset. It's an amazing feeling to just observe something so perfect and realize that it's YOUR moment in time. I was happy that no one else was around.
An amazing woman named Sara Teasdale once said, "Look for a lovely thing and you will find it, It is not far--It never will be far." And it wasn't!

I like your blog and your stories, but lately they all seem to have the same theme; go on a walk, marvel at nature and take a few pictures. Your posts used to be a lot more varied.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your comment--well-taken. I do have a lot of stories in the works and will be posting them soon. I have enjoyed getting out in nature recently; this fall has really been spectacular. Thanks very much for following the blog.
