But I took a walk in the forest, anyway, because it has become something of a refuge from the outside world, a place where nothing matters but the sounds, sights, and even smells of nature doing its thing.
The river was running higher than it was the last time I was here, but even then it wasn’t difficult to find quiet spots along the shore where the waves and currents gave way to perfectly still, reflective pools of water that defied the flows around them.
The sight made me think: calmness among the chaos, reflection amid a general lack of same, remnants of what once was, just below the undisturbed surface.
We can find peace if we’re willing to look for it, if we’re willing to walk a little further, to the places we once were, in the hope that on this visit, it’ll present itself to us.
It starts with one step. And it doesn’t necessarily require a forest.
