New writing!
Ever noticed that being outside of your element, your usual space, shakes things up? I get great inspiration on walks and bike rides. The fresh air, the exercise, the time outside my little cocoon always fill me with ideas. Unfortunately, I don’t always get to capture them right away and they get lost. The muse can be fleeting!
A few weeks ago, I took the pup for our morning walk. On this particular late summer day, so many thoughts came to mind. I got all the feels that day, observing my surroundings and the changes that were happening right before my eyes. I’m getting goose bumps just thinking about it. I knew something good percolated on this walk. I knew the muse gave me a gift.
On this day, the muse on my side, I rushed hope with excitement to capture my thoughts. What resulted is something so different from my usual writing. Something that’s won praise and even encouragement to write a book of poetry or meditations about my musings on the change of seasons. Have a read and let me know what you think.
And now, without further ado…
Ramblings on a Late Summer Walk…

Life is precious and the changing of seasons gives us a chance to reflect, appreciate, and then move forward in anticipation for what’s to come.
I love these lines; “Like a brand new chapter, a fresh start, the opening of a much-anticipated book, we’ll proceed to a new season. Each conveys its own splendor.” Your lovely, sensory writing helps me feel the change in the air and see the earth soften into shades of brown as a backdrop to the brilliant leaves before they fall. From far away, I am with you on your walk. Thank you.
Thanks so much for your note! I’m glad you liked it. Stay well!
Up-beat outlook! I needed that, Maria!
