A River and a Trail

N and I took to hiking as the capstone of our week of recovery - she, from fevered illness, and me, from epically-low energy. There is something so nice in using your own body to carry you places. It tires you out, you sweat so much, but when you sit in peace, it is absolute. (I'm not sure if the place in which you choose to rest needs to be as peaceful as this, but it really is a nice setting to give your mind a rest, as well.)
