Brace Yourself. Spring Is Coming!

Howdy Y’all,

Welp! Spring is almost here again! Time to feel the surge of new life and invigoration flowing through you!

Does anyone else find it odd to hear people say “New Year, New Me” during the Winter season? It seems humans are the only species that thinks Winter is the ideal time for renewal. The rest of Nature is not on board with our idea of when to start fresh and anew.

Migratory birds have flown south, while bears and other hibernators are still hibernating, relishing their long Winter snooze. Deciduous trees and other plants too have gone dormant, reserving their energy for the arrival of Spring. (And humans claim to be the most intelligent species on the planet. Yeah, ok.)

Flora and Fauna seem to be the only ones who know the proper time to reintroduce themselves after a cold, bitter Winter. All of Nature seems to demonstrate that the time for rebirth is not detrmined by a single date on a calendar. The Philosoohy of the Forest tells us not to rush the arrival of the new you, for when the time has come for you to emerge, you will feel it in the air.

Let’s adopt this philosophical truth and progress from claiming, “New year, new me” while in the dead of Winter, to New Leaf, New Life as we step forward into all of the newness that Spring has to offer.

You’ll need: decent pair of walking/hiking shoes, and an open mind.
Terrain: flat, some gravel/dirt path to start.
There’s a Wawa on Grant and Krewstown Rd if anyone needs a restroom before or after the walk.

Please RSVP as there is 10 person maximum for this walk.

Looking forward to seeing you!
