I remember when they were called Tree Huggers! People opposed to the mass cutting down of entire forests. My bride doesn't trail run but we do get to the mountains and walk the trails... it's quiet and if you sit quiet for long enough, you'll see wildlife ... In what they call the Black Forest in Northern Minnesota, I saw a deer run by and a couple of minutes later a wolf came by on the same trail. I'd never seen one in the wild and was pretty shocked by its size. I had my camera but never even thought to take a picture... I was so memorize by him. And to think, people hunt these magnificent beast for sport... it take all kinds to make up a world.
The spiritual awakening that happens once you quit drinking is real. I run in Florida and have started to become and expert on all the different varieties of Palms.
My husband and I took a trip through Northern California's Redwood Country. In Jedidiah Smith Redwoods Park, we hiked a trail through these magnificent groves. It was an almost religious experience for us both. The quietness was immense, but at the same time, I felt that the trees were talking to us.
When I came home, I read a couple of books on trees. I recommend Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben. Really interesting.
