Trying To Get In The Spirit
Posted by: GeekHiker on December 9, 2007
The GeekHiker
Just the journal of a guy. Who's a geek. And a hiker. Betch'a didn't see that coming, eh?
I remember a hundred lovely lakes,
and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir
and cedar and poplar trees.
The trail has strung upon it, as upon a thread of silk,
opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets.
It has given me blessed release from care and worry
and the troubled thinking of our modern day.
It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful.
Whenever the pressure of our complex city life
thins my blood and benumbs my brain,
I seek relief in the trail;
and when I hear the coyote wailing to the yellow dawn,
my cares fall from me
- I am happy. -- Hamlin Garland
