i walk.
I didn't have my glasses on….
A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.

It’s very true. Walking shows you the world in a way that you can really appreciate and learn. The tiniest things in nature are the real wonders.
Best wishes, Pete.

Yesterday was a good day for a walk, even a short one. It always clears the head and is a good reset. Took one myself! Have a fab day and keep looking forward. Peace.

You walk, you observe, you think, perhaps you feel a bit better. Have as good a day as you can, my friend Beth.

For decades, I would often do my long Saturday run on a lakeside trail. One time I pulled up lame halfway through the course and had a very long walk/limp back. I could not believe the incredible things I had never noticed before.

I walk in a different time and place, and I love it. Mary found nature, I find art.
