Visiting the cathedral in the woods

And breathe...

Today was a day to walk in the woods and drink in the green before it evolves into something decidedly different.

As is often the case when we come this way, it felt like a cathedral, of sorts, a quiet, resonant place that seems to compel us to slow ourselves down and turn the voices in our heads off.

The only noise we could hear was the river, still flowing high and fast after this week’s epic rains. Squirrels loading up for the winter and birds arguing over something we couldn’t quite figure out rounded out the soundscape.

Standing in this spot made us feel small in the most comforting manner. We’ll have to keep returning as nature repaints itself over the next few weeks and months.

Because the places that matter most are always evolving. And we’d hate to miss out on any opportunity to tell their story.
