Moments like this makes us understand ourselves the more and make simple things count even more. I've always wanted to move closer to nature as though I am leaving everything behind too. It's a sign of fresh air...that signals hope and beautiful things to come.
I hope you are working on writing a book sir? I love the way you play with words and you wield their swords with intent to strike. You know how to play with words to get your message across. I can never get tired of reading your posts.
I hope your legs feel fine after the hiking? I know I will get to try this out one day hahaha...just one day...
