A Sunday Walk
Marg and I took a morning walk along one of the trails near our house. As much complaining as I did about our abnormally long winter, I now have to admit that its effect on our subsequent summer has been spectacular. The wildflowers continue to be lush and abundant. The wet weather ponds that are normally dry by now are still full and flourishing with life.
The only fly in the ointment is that I sorely missed my sidekick Miles, who would have been by our side taking as much delight in the walk as Marg and I were. This is where I fall back on the beauty of the natural world. If I I have learned one thing from observing the natural cycles of the land around us, it is that a big part of life is learning how to let go. Yep, this is just one more thing to let go of, but why does it have to be so difficult?
