Six Mile Hike

Six mile hike Twelve hundred feet of climb Viv in a pack Up on my back I’d do it anytime Six mile hike Left a car at the top Hiking through lava Jonesing for java Didn’t see a shop Six mile hike Trek in the painted desert Slogged through sand That wasn’t planned Morning comes, legs gonna hurt Six mile hike Granddaughter, daughter and wife Out in God’s glory Writing our story Gratefully living this life

Jeff, wonderful write ! I just read a book called Wild, about a young woman who hiked The Pacific Crest Trail from California to Canada, alone, the hike became an unplanned vision quest, that is what nature does for us, Constance
