I just finished an amazing book. WALKING TOWARD PEACE, by Cindy Ross (Mountaineer Press, 2021). It chronicles the healing stories of veterans through hiking and experiencing the outdoors (ecotherapy). In addition to the stories of healing, the book includes snippets from research into the benefits

We played that right yesterday. The weather was mild so we went for a hike at Big Sioux Recreation Area (we enjoyed seeing the fungi on the trees along the trail).

And today, there’s 4” of snow on the ground!

My most recent read. It’s an interesting history of the Yellowstone Trail, and the evolution of the U.S. highway system.

I just finished this book. It is a long poem story of Hugh Glass after he was mauled by a grizzly bear and crawled to safety.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭52‬:‭1‬-‭4‬, MSG‬‬

“Why do you brag of evil, “Big Man”?
God’s mercy carries the day.
You scheme catastrophe; your tongue cuts razor-sharp, artisan in lies.
You love evil more than good, you call black white.
You love malicious gossip, you foul-mouth.”
