I’m trying to walk thirty minutes a day in an effort to improve my health. It’s been a positive experience so far. I walk without headphones, using the time to think, stop for the occasional photograph, and listen to the world. Here are some of the things I’ve noticed:
My Walk
Each day,
something changes.
The light reflects
anew.
Pine mirrored in blue.
Leaves rustle.
A tiny pink spiked flower
pokes out.
Man’s tighty whiteys
flap over a brook.
Wet dirt scent wafts.
Sun framed in clouds.
Dogs bark,
Converse in a language
I wish
I understood.
Cars whiz by.
Astride bare branches,
nests unveiled.
Squirrels leap
tails twitch.
Chimes tinkle.
Final stretch.
Home.
Ciao for now,
Lauren J
