Every blogger who lives in this area has written about the Konza. This morning I woke up and it was such a beautiful, sunny, coolish morning, I decided to hike the Konza alone for the second time ever. I have hiked the trail with Scott and the kids and others many times, but only twice now alone. I like it. When I walk it with Scott, I mostly listen. We often walk in silence. Sometimes I stay present and try to listen and feel, the birds, the trees rustling, the breeze, the gurgling creek, the tree frogs or locusts or whatever makes that racket up in the trees. Other times I go places in my mind, reflect, daydream, or let my busy mind work shit out. Not too long ago I hiked it with a friend and I babbled the whole time. Must have needed to.
Today I stayed present on the hike for the most part. There was a lovely breeze when I started and then my skin became clammy and sweat ran down my back. I enjoyed the quiet and the view. Then my mind drifted off and I wrote these blog posts in my head. I enjoyed myself thoroughly.
