TREES

"To be poor and be without trees, is to be the most starved human being in the world. To be poor and have trees, is to be completely rich in ways that money can never buy." ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Heading back into the woods for Round 2! I am embarking on my second hike ever, on the Appalachian Trail, and this one promises to be darn difficult. There is talk of 602 stairs up a direct incline....and eight whole miles of climbing, climbing, climbing. This trip was decidedly spur the moment and almost entirely unplanned, but I'm sorta excited. There will be waterfalls and woods, prayer and peace, and certainly a savory amount of trail mix and turkey jerky. Bring it on!
