Sauntering and Savoring

/ Rebecca / 14 Comments

Anyone who has ever taken a walk with me knows that I am not a fast walker. I prefer to move at a leisurely pace, allowing myself time to pause, absorb, and appreciate my surroundings. How much we miss in life by rushing past all of its little treasures.

It wasn’t until I slowed the car and rolled down the windows that I realized I spend most of my days driving ‘through’ life without driving ‘in’ life. So, I’ve decided to walk because the pace is slower and the windows are always down. ~Craig D. Lounsbrough

Spotting fungi

I always enjoy taking a peaceful stroll in the woods.  Even on gray days, when there is little else to see, a variety of interesting fungi can be spotted along the trail.

A walk in the woods

I enjoy walking the trails around Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge and seeing the plant and animal life there.  The woods are filled with the sound of the leaves rustling in the trees and birds calling back and forth to each other.   My favorite forest sound is that of a loud barred owl resonating somewhere off in the distance.

“I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees.”  ~Henry David Thoreau
