The Spirit of the Trail
by Dawn Gogert
I’m now ascending a hill that takes me north from the lake into a big loop… I’m leaving the Tamaracks on the lakes edge to be greeted by some lofty Balsam trees that have the most heavenly fragrance. I’m now walking down a worn down trail with ferns on the edge with trees that reach the heavens… It’s perfect, there’s a mist in the air and no wind… Making it a scene that I could never forget.. I travel along an the rays of the sun greet me in spots where foliage isn’t covering the trail… The site of a fawn and a mother come to me as I look off the trail. Everything was so still… This really is a good way to restore the soul is what came to mind… This is truly awesome not a single person on the trail and I’m just out here in the middle of the woods with the loons, wolves, deer and few songbirds that are left in the North Woods… It’s only day three and I’m in heaven… The North Woods, A good Place to recollect your thoughts and restore your soul.
