In my mind hiking is a form of meditation
In my twenties and thirties I was serious about it
When I lived in rural snow country Japan I made notebooks of ways I discovered to get to the tops of nearby mountains. Of course, this wasn’t trailblazing many locals could find their way through the backwoods but I think I was the first to map it out with detailed descriptions in English. I left my handwritten notes at the junior high. It wasn’t just trails but literally through the woods with no path.
In Korea too. Right outside the big cities. That was all trail hiking but I wasn’t using maps or anything. I remember hearning chanting and stumbling on temples.
People always said don’t go alone but that was the only way it was meaningful.
But now I’m too old and tired so I just hit a spot, build a fire, sleep in my tent. Recently in parks. It’s still recharges me. Father Time... |
