The Japenese call a walk in the woods "Forest Bathing."
It does feel that way! In the presence of those enormous gentle redwood beings! With great respect, I entered their private, ancient home. I stepped into their pool of warm, delightful mix of aromas. My feet gave into the soft earth. There's a holy quietness there. Every sound is filtered through moss padded woods. Birds call, limbs bump and wave in the breeze. I could lay there all day, on a moss covered log, absorbing, and never get bored.
I did hear other voices in a distance, other chattier visitors.
A small man with a long grey beard and hair appeared behind me while I was taking pictures. A childhood story came to mind. I believed for a moment that Rumpalstilskin was standing there.
"Would you like me to take a picture of you and your dog?" He kindly asked. And of course I did, and so he did. His name was Richard.
This concludes my week long coastal road trip. Every time I get away to wander to the coast and woods, I ask myself, "Why don't I do this more often?" Good question! I will keep asking that question until I make it a habit of doing it more often.

ResenärI missed the gorgeous redwoods! Back in the day frequently passing through Samuel P. Taylor park. It's been so long. Never gets old does it. Azul must be in dog heaven
ResenärI forest bathe here in SoCal too, but with palm trees and in local parks! The Redwoods are magnificent.
