Hiking and nature appreciation have been missing significantly from my life. I recently made the choice to rekindle the fire within me and do things that feed my soul. I also have been struggling with chronic illness which adds to the challenge. As LIFE for me has just begun at age 60, it sadly and tragically ended for a nephew of mine at the young age of 39.
TJ was(is) a beautiful, brilliant soul. Two of many prevalent memories of him are when he was in the child car seat – a mere toddler – saying, “Aunt Maria, look at the mountains, they’re magnificent!” The second is that he liked to read and at the time I’m recalling, it was mystical, magical, genre series.
When I happened upon this hike and the fact that it is raising awareness of the importance of addressing and maintaining mental health it seems the perfect way to connect with TJ and wish him peace. While I am reaching out to his soul on the MYSTICAL, MAGICAL MAGNIFICENT MOUNTAIN, I am feeding my soul as I rekindle the fire within me in nature and hiking. TJ was always so considerate of others. Thank you TJ, for directing me to this event. May your spirit soar high above the Mystical Magical Magnificent Mountains.
