I was surrounded by life and beauty. My soul was content, and my life felt full.
I would rather watch a sunset than TV.
Writing is one of the main ways that I process the experience.
Something deep within me connected with hard work, nature and simplicity.
One thing I think I've always felt about being in nature is that it's a very natural taste.
A lot of people talk about the trail healing them, but I feel like, the first time, it humbled me, which I probably needed. It was a completely new way to experience the world and my body.
