I really wanted to take a walk through the woods today. My girlfriend, not so much. I begged and pleaded and bribed the kids and sorta forced her to walk with me. Her reasons could have something to do with the fact that her youngest is just a year old. And slow.
As we walked and walked, very slowly, my visual focus was mainly on the ground and trail before me. I was looking for pretty leaves. I was hollering at Hugo to slow down and that he was too far ahead. I was also worried about the repercussions of traveling so far away from our trusty kitchen timer with no wipes or anything clean and dry to change into. Then, something caused me to look up and out. My feet stopped. The words I had been speaking were no more. I was completely captured in the beauty of the woods before me. The trees were glowing.
