Being in no hurry to get anywhere
Taking the time to take in my surroundings
In a quiet place in the countryside
Where the subtle senses come alive
Early morning listening to my body
Breathing in the forest fresh air
Looking forward to the day ahead with you
Being outside in a natural area
Going for a hike in the woods
Away from all human machine noise
Just the sound of our footsteps
Intruding on the wildlife around us
We move slowly keeping silent
We two listeners alert to bird calls
Using our binoculars to see detail
Admiring the plants and fungi
Doing this never gets old
Sharing the experience together
Exploring different habitats
Always finding something special
