I walk this road with my dogs every day. Walking through golden early mornings or the late blue afternoons. Sometimes I run until my chest aches.For me this roads leads to sanity. Listening to the trees, looking at the clouds piling up on the horizon, loving the way the dogs say hello to the world.

I absolutely need my sanity path too. For me, I rediscover sanity in my walks down the banks of the nearby Kern river. The trees, the birds, the ground squirrels and the rabbits running accross the path, they all remind me that life should and can always be simpler than I have made it today.
I walk under the wide open skies ( and the skies are so big here on the floor of the Central Valley, where you can set down a level almost anywhere and --- perfectly flat ) and wait for the air to dissolve all the knots and tangles that a day of living made in me.
On clear days there is mountains on the horizon in all directions.
I need it. I need to connect with the earth, and I need to connect with the little kid in me who still wants to run barefoot on a rugby field, simply because it is fun to run and feel your body burn its excess energy.
Hel, I've read your whole blog...you write to poignantly, so emotionally, so intimately...I feel like I've just sat down with a new friend to share a spot of tea and a bit o' ourselves. Thank you for visiting my journal...I will return here frequently sister.
Peace of spirit,
Lil
