Here's a photo of the local bridge that I cross (sometimes with my beloved) when I go for my regular 5km, one-hour walks.
I love it especially when the sky is blue, as it is pictured here with a high tide and a gentle breeze gliding along with me during my walk.
I particularly like walking close to the mauga or mountain in the distance, and marvel at how it escaped being used for road construction (but that's another story).
On days like these, it's nice to walk at a fast pace and let my thoughts roam free. It's like a physical and spiritual release, allowing freedom from the pressures of the day and the planning to be loosened.
It's also a time to spend with God, to settle in and marvel at creation, as I sometimes catch sunsets, the waters at high tide, or the receding waters at low tide. Sometimes I see intergenerational families walking, couples, friends, lone rangers (like myself) or people walking their dogs.
I highly recommend it for those who have retired from running or jogging, like I did in my younger days, but still enjoy spending time in the sun and watching sunrises or sunsets. It's a peaceful feeling with energy that you can't find in an office, within closed walls, or at a mall....
