“Home is everything you can walk to.” ― Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl
To hike a mountain wearing backpack is divine; climb to cool heights with marmots, and drink in far vistas. To stroll barefoot along the sandy beach is mesmerizing; play catch-me-if-you-can with foamy waves, and chase seagulls. To meander with walking stick on fern trail through piny forest is refreshing; listen for bears, and follow a stony stream. To exercise with dog on rural mile is simple enjoyment; be led over gently rolling hill, push into prairie wind, and gaze at the wide expanse of sky.

Love this, love your haiku and that photo…just lends so much color to it. “Simple enjoyment’ just sums it up

This really sums up the walk of all walks and so precisely and poetically.

I love the midwest–and we owe so much to those farmers. Nice contrasts in this.

Stunning photo of that wide expanse sky ~ Love the walk with much appreciation for the simple beauty of nature ~

Our skies are often dramatic …the one in this photo is rather demure but glad you like it!
May 10, 2016 @ 02:50:08
There is a sense of exploration in those walks.. the one we just do, that has just that adventure with small feet… wonderful haibun Lynn
May 10, 2016 @ 07:10:12
Adventure with small feet…I like that very much!
May 10, 2016 @ 01:01:59
mmm, this was a pleasure. Brimming with the joys of freedom– the possibility of an open sky

Ah, you understand…thanks for your comment!

All the different walks…each so very different and so full of enjoyment. I like the photo with the road between the fields. I can well imagine a walk along that – with self, others, a dog. And the endless sky above the prairie. What glory! I enjoyed this so very much.
