Thanks Paul. Very well said. I was browsing a used bookstore years ago and found a copy of the literature book I’d had junior year in high school in 1977. One of the stories therein is ‘A Christmas Memory” by Truman Capote. As you said, that story resonates with me, and I think of it often and read it once a year.

Every moment outside is an adventure;, just as every short bike ride is a tour, and every walk is a journey. Your words about small good things resonate.

I seem to remember the details of a short story more than a novel. Many more distractions now, it is surprising how well it relates to remembering my hiking trips. A short blog that made me ponder! Nice insight.

YES!!!! Thank you.

The short hikes do add up. And importantly for me, they fill the gaps (which are far to l-o-n-g in my life) between longer treks, and help me scratch the ever-present itch. I need that connection to God, myself, and our world that they provide.
