Hiking thoughts
I am not physically fit and hiking is not my favorite activity.
But I do like being in the great outdoors and the perspective it hammers home is necessary every now and then.
As a consequence of me being out of shape, I have to take many stops along the way. The steeper the hike , so on and so forth.
But this problem opened up another door - I have more opportunities to take pictures. Turn back and look at the view as I catch my breath. Look at the leaves and trees and stones. Bugs and mushrooms. So many more layers to enjoying a trail or a national park. Nature's bounty.
So I take myself out of the race to complete a hike. Use the slower pace to enjoy the gifts of nature more and maybe even appreciate it in the process. Drawing a fresh breath and a great view to look at is a privilege. We aren't owed anything.

They say travel broadens the mind. It is fatal to prejudice.
Make cycling great again
Like the horse, it became an instrument of leisure and not of cheap, carbon free transportation for short distances.

feeling the morning breeze, mimicking the calling bird, shaking the branch after a rainfall, letting ourself wonder with the buzzing bee, playing with tentacles of the hidden snail, smelling a wild flower, when stones , mud, stick, leaf were the toys to play. unforgettable memori...
