About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Nature Walks
Prompt: "In every walk with nature, one receives far more he seeks." John Muir Write about this in your Blog entry today.

-------

How nice to walk in a forest, inside the woods, or on a not-too-crowded beach! I wish I were young enough to walk a long walk along a trail in the woods or on a long stretch of sand by the shore.

I used to go with my husband and others on such excursions, once upon a time. To begin with, those walks meant endless opportunities for learning about the environment, wildlife, and lots of fun, especially if we were walking with a group of friends.

To begin with, nature walks are easily accessible and affordable and they require minimal equipment. Then, they provide camaraderie and friendship, too.

Focusing on the sights, sounds, colors and sensations of the natural world promotes a sense of inner peace and gratitude for everyone on a walk. This, in turn, may boost the immune system due to breathing in the fresh air and being exposed to many other positive elements. It is said that walking in nature also helps one's sleep cycle and improves mood, energy, and fitness levels and overall well-being.

Since many writers, thinkers, and painters draw inspiration from nature, who wouldn't want to stimulate their minds and create new ideas!

As I said in the beginning paragraph, "I wish I were young enough to walk a long walk along a trail in the woods or on a long stretch of sand by the shore."
