You’re excited for adventure? He needs a diversion from his ipad? You’re overwhelmed? She’s restless? They’re struggling to make sense of science? Geography? Geometry? Physics? Art? Poetry? She wants to ride her bike but her little brother is still figuring out his tricycle? It’s been too long since you used your passport? You’re feeling sad? You’re worried? You’re thrilled? You’re happy to be alive?
There’s always a footpath, for free, with exactly what you need.
Because it makes your souls feel good, instead of their ipads, with all of your heart and and all of your focus find that narrow band for feet through nature and see what waits around the corner.
I can’t help myself. Walking the footpaths around us makes my heart sing. All the more if I’m off the map. I love them all – more than art. more than wine – but from the same part of my heart.
I hope you make discoveries here that add joy and space to your life. And I hope your children recognize what a supreme experience nature holds in store for them always – what a gift that is and what fools they’d be not to care for it.
The wine thing grew from my wanting to honor each footpath’s discrete character. They’re all vastly different to me despite their commonalities (trees, grass, path) and if you’ve seen one, then you’ve ….only seen one.
