Today, I felt the urge to walk first thing! I walked an hour in my neighborhood park in the freshness of sunrise. I took a 30-minute breakfast break at home, then drove over to Taylorsville Metropark. I walked the same circuit as I did yesterday in the opposite direction, taking me first down the hill to the bank of the Great Miami River. The melodic rippling of the shallow water was mesmerizing, and I listened to the call to stay for a spell, emphasis on “spell”. I recorded words in my favorite Cinquaine form.
River
Calm inviting
Ripples sing softly
Allowing myself soothing interlude
Nourishment
While walking, I kept marveling at how satisfyingly like the Appalachian Trail is this trail. It occurred to me that I could offer personalized AT training and prep right here in Dayton, Ohio! I have an extra bedroom with private bath and this excellent AT-like trail nearby. I can help you clear your path AND support my Mom at the same time! Whadya think??
