Nature, that's it, that's the title

I love nature.

I love being out in nature

Today, I took a walk in nature.


It was a long walk

I know I can do it.

So I did it.

I wasn't afraid to push

I'm not afraid, to take a stand, everybody, come take my hand


I used all senses

Sound, sight, hearing, smell, touch

the sky was beautiful, and a deep blue

Yo, listen up here's a story, about a little guy who lives in a blue world


There's nothing that fills me up

like a walk in the woods

the energy from the trees

the songs of the birds

the smell of the forest

the rays of the sun on a wildflower

the sound of running water

the warmth of the sun on my face

Groove is in the heart


I knew I could do it,

how?

two weeks ago

in SoCal

I climbed a peak

guided by fam

made it to the top

met a swarm of bees

got warned about a resident rattler

I will survive


I understood the challenge.

Two weeks ago, 5.8 miles

I pushed today

not 5.9, but 6.9

Gonna rise up, find my direction magnetically

Gonna rise up, throw down my ace in the hole


It was a blast

beautiful

filling

inspiring

reminding me of how great life is

So don't stop me now, because I'm having a good time, having a good time


A reminder

I have no cartilage, i have other health problems

but,

that won't stop me

don't tell me what i can do

or worse, don't tell me what I can't do

It's my life, don't you forget


So I won't back down,

I won't stop believin"

because

It's a good life

and, at times, while I might be

free fallin'

at the end of the day

It's a beautiful day

This is an amazing composition, and I must understand which parts are from some song or poem and which are you blogging today! You take "be yourself" to a new level. Keep being the prize!

I'm visiting a friend in Maryland; here's Mt. Hood from the north on my trip out.

Nature can be truly restorative. You captured the feeling beautifully. Do you like Mary Oliver poems?She writes about nature like nobody's business.


I also see that you added to your song list (I think). Was The Boxer there before? One of my favs.
