There’s something spiritual about hiking a mountain. Or a hill, in my case today. But we are meant to be out in nature. Not even “out in;” we are nature, we are part of nature and this Earth. One short hike provides a glimpse of that oneness. It’s the exertion, and the air and the scenery and the clambering on the crust of the Earth itself. How amazing the surface of this planet is, how lucky we are. Hiking simply proves it’s one big beautiful amazing world.
