Just over a month ago my sister and I had two days together where we could hike with no restraints, other than what our bodies could handle and what the weather would allow. We visited trails that we had hiked on several other occasions, seeming to be seeing old friends from the past. However at younger ages then and, for me, in a bit better shape. But we totaled 20 miles that weekend. Our final trip up to American Lakes in Colorado which is pictured here.
Several lessons were learned over that time we spent on the open trail. One being how alive I felt as we moved through forests and past wildflowers, standing above timberline looking across valleys towards mountains that were massive and overwhelming and yet more majestic than I have words to describe.
Life will always become too busy, too occupied.
I was reminded to be alive while I'm here. That's what I think of when I see this photo.
