Learning from the forest

Learning from the forest I went for a solo run in the Forest of Fun and let the trail pull me into its cool, green quiet. I moved past the rushing creek and noticed how swollen the water looked after the recent storm. I ran by the Douglas Weir signs and paused just long enough to read about storm surges and rain-garden projects. The mix of forest sounds and fast water kept me focused and steady on the climb. By the time I finished, I felt refreshed and grounded from being out there.
