Dear Walkers,

I hiked on Saturday and was completely surrounded by awe-invoking nature–clouds thunderheading to the heavens, crickets chirping and dancing, and the bluest skies you’ll ever see filtered through green quaking aspen leaves. But I spent most of the hike with my eyes fixed on the trail, watching one foot clomp in front of the other.

Life’s kind of that way too. We’re all the time surrounded by beauty and wonder, but we have our own path that we’re walking. And it’s important to keep our eyes on where we’re going so we make sure we get there.

But we have to remember all that surrounds us. And, every once in a while, stop and take in a big breath of the beauty and wonder.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
