   This is lovely – I love the quiet of winter hiking – very little sound but the sound of one’s feet. The quiet also makes me feel as if I am home…

   I tried to imagine what that would be like to do a solo retreat in a cabin in the very cold and snowy woods each January. For the poet it seems a way to banish the ancient demons of the past year. Beautiful reflection–thanks so much for listening and taking the time to comment.

   I sure resonated with “Welcome Home”. That is how it feels for me to walk solo in the wild places, too. Good medicine, always.

      I’m glad this poem hit the mark for you. It’s such a simple idea –walking in the woods during winter and yet such nutrient for our spirit. Thank you for sharing.
