When I am

on holiday,

finishing a book.

I go walking alone in the mountains.

as long as I am

with nature,

I don’t

care.

For me,

there is something sacred about

breathing clean air,

listening to the sounds of

birds and observing the plants and animals around me.

When I reach the highest

place on my walk,

I like to sit

in silence for a long time and enjoy the beautiful

scenery in front

of

me.

It

is like food for my spirit.

Last

year I invited two friends to come with me.

Unfortunately they were not

very fit

and so the walk was hard on them.

I was worried that

we wouldn’t

reachour campsite before dark and begged them

to walk faster.

They complained loudly all

the way.

When the walk was over,

we all

agreed that

it

was an enjoyable experience.

However,

the truth was that

I would never invite them

to come walking with me again.

And,

they would probably never want

to!
