A Walk in the Woods

” Keep close to Nature’s heart…and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” -John Muir
Walk with me…
It’s that time of year again. I miss the crisp air and fall colors in my Indiana hometown. But I’ve discovered a hidden gem just a short drive from Tucson, Arizona. Madera Canyon “washes my spirit clean.” Breathe the cool, fresh air. Look around. Listen. Few words are needed. Come, walk with me…
See a blush of fall color…

Listen to the water dancing over the rocks. Feel the cool mountain stream…

Get in touch with a tree…

Wonder at ancient stones…

Delight in the unexpected …

Renew…
