Oh I love this and find it to be so true! There is nothing better than country walks for all the gifts it brings to oneself. My go-to is the Lincolnshire Wolds or Yorkshire Dales. I love how country people allow walkers to hike through their fields and private land. Such an acknowledgement that nature belongs to all of us. Now I will read Anna Karenina. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
"Cities, as Tolstoy presents them, offer only two possibilities: social conformity and bureaucratic subordination."
May your journey of walking, reading, reflecting and writing through the countryside galvanize all of us to find, even in cities, new possibilities to build #belovedcommunities.
On a side note, It seems like there have been a lot of folks who have "Caminoed" from Western Michigan. It might be interesting for you to compare notes with someone like Marlin Vis for instance.
Really enjoyed this piece. Thank you.

Thanks, Sandra. And now I will responsible if you don't like the novel! (You could see the movie too.)

I just subscribed to Marlin's blog. Thanks for the tip.
Getting ready for a long flight to Alaska on Friday. The book will keep me entertained. 😉👍
