Trails
At walking speed, small things begin to matter. The shade beneath a juniper. A cool draft from a side drainage. The place where the trail gives way to bare rock and asks for a closer look.
A day on foot contains a surprising amount of ordinary business: adjust a strap, drink some water, find the way. Somewhere among those chores comes the pleasure of being fully occupied by the country underfoot.
