When I walk alone I am never alone for my company is the wind, the scent of soil, the sound of trees, the dappling of sunshine, the darkening of clouds, the subtle blooms, the spread of moss, the wanderings of ivy, the round winter berries, the busying of insects, the hundreds and thousands of living creatures going about their existences – all part of a million minute experiences that are encountered along my path. I enjoyed a day by myself today, far away from work, where I could breathe and take notice, find some perspective and reflection.
