[the_ad id=”13633″] [[ The Great Western trail up Mill creek canyon has always been a favourite of mine. It’s been a few years since my feet have trodden in the dirt up here. It’s a walk of remembrance, great fallen trees lay in silence as a flashing of friends long gone trip through one’s mind. [[ The early morning start lends to solitude, the only forest sound a woodpecker. Clouds race across the bluest of skies.Piles of leaves get kicked into the air.The mountain lake babbles insane laughter. I sit for a spell and listen intently. [[ A lone tent in an open field reveals dogs playing, an man eating breakfast. I connect with the knowledge that I am not the only one craving to get away.Be alone. Be free. Be me.I’m finding myself ready now to face another day, another week, another year. Hiking serves my soul. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/serve-your-soul/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20serve%20your%20soul&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fserve-your-soul%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/serve-your-soul/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/serve-your-soul/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/serve-your-soul/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/serve-your-soul/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
