Early morning woods walks bring the magical side of life alive. Our feet move quickly, our minds spin constantly and our eyes dart here and there. Morning woods walks force a level of silence that is like little else in life. It brings simplicity. It brings attention. It brings truth.

We walk with quick feet through life. It is easy in the mid-day sun to miss the finer things in life. It is easy when life moves by to miss the honesty. It is easy to overlook the details. I have walked past you without seeing you. I have chatted without looking. I have focused on my life and missed your presence. I walked past your webs without seeing you or even acknowledging that you exist.

Early morning walks bring light to things I couldn’t see during the mid-day sun. I see spiderwebs that have been weaved with love. I know that the spiders exist when I can clearly see their webs in the early morning light, covered with dew and all of the freshness that it brings.

Have you ever walked in the woods and not realized that you are surrounded by spiders? It is like walking through life and not acknowledging spirits. Sometimes, it takes a shift in your vision to see them. I love morning woods walks, they reveal all sorts of truth that I couldn’t see when the sun is up.
