Journaling Reads:

Dear Trail,

I am so sorry that you have not seen me for the past two weeks. We have been seeing each other almost daily for more than ten years, and this was not supposed to happen. I have always felt a connection with you. You have been there for me during my highest of highs and my lowest of lows. By now, you know that I do not have the best voice, yet you have often heard my joyful singing when I am with you. You have witnessed my little skips of glee, and gasps of excitement on encountering deer, a bobcat, coyote or one of the many birds and small critters you have in your care. You have taught me to be vigilant and on the lookout for snakes, especially in the warmer months of the year. You have listened to my self-talk when I am running, and sometimes you have witnessed my tears when I have felt overwhelmed with life. We have weathered so many different seasons and storms together. My favorite time of day to visit you has always been early in the morning, usually before the sun has risen. Most often, it has just been the two of us. You are my friend, my refuge, my quiet place and the one spot where I can just be. You have always welcomed me, so it was very difficult for me to see your gate closed and padlocked. The past two weeks have left me feeling empty and sad. I miss you, trail… but this is not about me. One day, hopefully soon, I will return. I know you will be waiting for me. April 6th, 2020.
