Beginning Again

Slow, steady rain all morning- the universe helping me to learn how to sit still? Read, listened to podcasts, napped, and watched a movie. We were itching to explore the park again and hike the 2nd half. Because it had rained all night and into the next morning, it was QUIET! We heard streams running, birds chirping, branches settling, leaves rustling. I felt totally engulfed in the forest; it was like being in a fairytale book, around every corner there was another eye treasure. Physically challenging we did 53 sets of stairs. What a day!
