Nature Walk in Silence for Child-free Women - Sep 8, 2017

We meet once a week on Friday mornings at 10 a.m. in Guelph for a Nature Walk in Silence. This is a chance for child-free women to share in what we enjoy best: silence, nature, friendship and feeling understood.

Each walk starts with an inspirational quote that we contemplate for the walk. We share what we want to release for the week, then walk in silence.  At the end of the walk, we talk about what showed up for us and what we want to bring in for the week.  

Each week, I will post the quote and a reflection or poem on what came up for me. 

Quote: "Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express our appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it." 
- Ralph Marston

Poem
Tormenting times
that distract
often lead us 
to appreciate
what is around us

This park with tall trees
has been here
since I was a child
quietly growing

Beneath my feet
lay a leaf
heart-shaped

simple reminders of what matters
