We also come out here to learn about ourselves. The biggest prize in long-distance hiking is the gift of time. Time to look. Time to think. Time to feel. All those hours you spend with your thoughts. You don’t solve all of your problems, but you come to understand and accept yourself.

What a lovely quote. I wish I was more of an outdoorsy person so that my kids could be. Time to think and accepting yourself sounds pretty good.

I think being out there would allow for so much reflection and peace. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI think the reason why people backpack is to get away from it all and experience the world. Not to worry about everyday life and most of all... Enjoy the fresh air :)
