Whenever possible, walk early, in bluest blue and blackest black. The trees want to greet you. A day of new possibilities is beginning. You will be surprised. What you care about, what you pay attention to, what you rise to do and make and be each day has impact. On rare and exquisite occasions, you find this out.

Just now, after my walk here in the Berkshires, my daughter at home, my youngest, texts me this photo she took in my absence. She is walking the dogs. She is in the woods, body and soul, in reverence.
