"Back Trail Views " by Susan Pearl

I know a hiker who enjoyed taking the back trails in his wilderness journeys,
He had earned lots of experience and knew the back trails were something he could do.

The hiker would say, "Sure the back trails are harder but the views are worth it."
And then the hiker would share the wondrous sights he had seen on the back trails
  and tell of some of the challenging efforts that having such wondrous sights had required.

Some people try for years and years to attain a goal.
They try over and over again and "trying" is what they know.
And when they reach their goal others will benefit, too.
Because they gladly share the beauty from a back trail view.

By hearing the stories that such a hiker has to tell,
Others are inspired to prepare for taking their own back trail,
And once the dream has started the journey has begun. too.
For the back trail journey that will show that amazing view,
   that is ongoing and stays exuberantly new.


WHEN HELD CAPTIVE BY A REFLECTION OF NATURE'S PEACE,
              OUR SPIRIT SOARS FREE AND KNOWS RELEASE.


I don't know how---
  but, to me,  this writings expresses-
  the awesomeness of the very moment of being in the "NOW".
