A Small Dream Fulfilled

Yes, I have been wanting to do this for a few years – walk barefoot in the woods. So today was the day. The trek was only about two and a half minutes in total, but it was super wonderful for both my soul and the soles of my feet.

I apologize that this might be a bit dizzy-ing – I’m not experienced in posting videos.

Ganesh is a majestic three-branched oak tree on the trail whom I hug every time I see him. Drumbo, a hollow naked pine or cedar – I’m not sure which – gets the same treatment. Plus he makes a lovely drumming sound when I forcefully pound on his belly.

Thank you, Robert Frost

The woods are lovely, [white and bright,]

But I have [Wordpress posts to write,

And work to do before tonight,

And work to do before tonight.]

It’s rare that I enter these woods without the words of Robert Frost’s famous poem dancing through my mind. But since I was there on a sunny afternoon, his words didn’t quite ring true. So, I had to modify them. And yes, now they respect the moment. 🙂

Perhaps you’d like to listen to Robert Frost reading his original creation, Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening.
