I have finally been able to get more time in the hills over the past week, something that was sorely needed. I took some liberties with imagination \u2013 I don\u2019t have hiking boots. I wear hiking shoes. A second item \u2013 no old and bent stave. I use hiking poles. The rest is accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scattered stones shift
Beneath worn and faded boots
A barbed wire to lift
With a worn, old and bent stave
Carved long ago by callused hands<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wire now rusted by time
Its barbs still a threat
Complains in protest<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crossing the arbitrary line
Moving forward with a sigh, yet
Knowing there\u2019s no time to rest<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a place up ahead
Where I will lay my head<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I take walks into the prairie hills as often as I can. Though the way seems barren to others, I have found surprises almost every journey I take. In the heat of a summer\u2019s day, I have been known to find a boulder that serves as a resting place where I can meditate or simple rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resting has nothing to do with physical tiredness. And the place isn\u2019t necessarily on these prairie hills. There will be an end to my wandering, a time to hang up these dusty and faded boots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
