First Hike of the Season – Spring (Wood Element)
Puffing up the steady incline Legs bucking at the exertion Breath catching, face reddening Doubting myself and cursing myself at the same time Why am I so out of shape What was I thinking letting it get this bad Removing myself from the center of attention I focus on the wonders around New plants pushing up through the dry ground Delicate buds covering trees about to burst Tiny birds dashing through the bush chasing each other Ants marching in time never missing a step Spiders plotting their next web An abandon web along the trail Connecting with Nature and my visiting friend Both seem glad to be with me, both welcoming and warm Nature reminding me it is time to shake off Winter and embrace the new Time to stretch and push my body to move and strengthen I too need to wake up from my Winter’s nap and embrace the new day. By the end the difficulty melts away and the connection is all that counts.
