Warming up to the Idea

Every day, I try to take this beautiful walk for about 20 minutes to maybe a half an hour. 

A giant field has been set aside as preservation land. When the grass grows tall enough, it is cut and baled as hay for the local horses. Meanwhile, it provides beautiful, unobstructed views of the local mountains and hills. Some of it reminds me of Montana and the Bearpaw Mountains (which are much smaller than the Rockies, and jut out from and otherwise lightly rolling terrain.

Very little traffic comes along the road, and so many people use it. 

Walking their dogs, or strolling with children. Joggers, bicycle riders, and in the winter cross country skiers and the occasional snow mobile rider show up. 

 

I'm starting to get a feel for the energy around here, and it's already had a creative effect on things. Writing songs, always playing an instrument. Writing in general (like here) is a healthy outlet during these COVID times.
