oh, this is just lovely writing. it perfectly encapsulates what happens on a good hike: letting the mind wander, making random observations and connections. being absolutely present in the moment, even as it brings up other moments.
The pictures complement your writing so well. Knowing you're still getting out there to see the flicker and taste the apple gives me hope as I enter my elder years. I subscribed to your newsletter and look forward to reading more. Thank you.
Ah those warm, heady, blossom-filled days, where the breeze is heavy with the fragrance of fruit and flowers. These are the moments that make up my favorite memories of life. Thank you for the reminder xx

You are SO kind! Thanks!!
Oh what gorgeous writing! Thank you.
I loved this piece!
This is one of my favorites. I hesitate to say best written posts but yes that's what I think. I'm a fan of description and reflection.
That is a most reassuring response, for which I’m truly grateful. Be well, s
So beautiful! A combination of inspiring yet fearful feelings.
Brilliant, Syd, so measured and (no surprise) poetic. It’s always an honor to read your work and glimpse a landscape from your perspectives.
So beautifully and descriptively written. I felt such peace reading it.
So pleased it struck a chord with you. Many thanks
Beautifully evocative of so many past years, from a man of ninety expressing thanks for bring back so vividly moments of grace.
I’ve so enjoyed this lovely place you’ve just taken me to on the mountain and the heart felt ease of communion.
Such beautiful writing to read this morning. Images of the dead flicker have stayed with me.Thank you, from another similarly aged lone writer-hiker.

So pleased I offered something you could relate to!
Beautiful. I love how every hike is an adventure. Usually a quiet adventure, but a full one all the same.
What a beautiful piece to read as I was having my morning coffee this Monday morning. EVE.
Beautifully still experience evoked.
