During the 2020 lockdown, a neighbor and I hiked sections of the Horseshoe Trail, whenever we could. Starting in mid-March 2020, we watched the seasons change and learned a lot about flora, fauna, and local history along the way. Initially, we started hiking locally, just to keep our sanity during troubled times. Within a 5-mile radius of our homes, we found an abundance of woodland beauty! At first, it was all about seeing the beauty of Spring arriving in the woods…and breathing fresh air! Then, being curious by nature, we started to learn the names of the wildflowers, birds, trees, and fungi. And then…we started to have mystical experiences.
In this blog I will be sharing how I navigated my way through 2020. It is about the delightful and mystical experiences that occurred during the years we will look back on as “the Quarantine”. Enjoy the journey…as I look back on this magical time! I was guided to …”Get out in nature!” …and I’m glad I did!
