Isn’t it interesting how one word or phrase can mean so many things?
I’m heading out today…
… for my morning hike.
… for my usual workday.
… for a trip to Ohio, to visit my grandmother who is ill.
All these things, all true, one phrase.
I don’t know how much I’ll be connected while I’m gone. It will be a time focused on family, but I plan to take walks in the woods where I can. Hopefully, I’ll get to walk in the same woods my father walked when he was young, in rural Ohio. I get my love of being in the forest from him, and I’m going to where he first spent time among the trees. It should be a special place.
I wonder, will it feel like home?
I visited places from the past and found my scent in some places and none in others. There is something to treasure in every moment, no matter how fleeting . . .
