So, thanks to a friend of ours who took Jim´s advice to heart :), we came together for a short walk in nature yesterday. We chose Lainzer Tiergarten - a nature preserve, where you frequently see wild boars, wild goats, deer and such roaming around the woods. We went up the small hill by Nikolaitor and then walked over to a very beautiful meadow where we sat down under a tree and just enjoyed pre-spring weather. The sun shone warmly on my back, while from the West strong winds came through. They howled and came with such force, which I have rarely felt up there. I sat and tried to listen to the winds words…
what I heard is that the strong winds come to pick up the old things to make way for the new ones. At one point on the way down I got to watch a really nice view of the wind picking up quite a few old leaves and making them “run” across the earth.
So while we sat under the tree, it was peaceful - at least for me, I didn´t mind the wind, it was refreshing, I felt somewhat like being shaken through by the winds and I enjoyed that. Also, I brought the Grandmother Moon Pipe - she wanted to come! And the friend who initiated the whole walk into nature, her pipe felt the calling for the outdoors too - Wonderful ! Without having talked about it, we both brought the pipes. And also the whole group turned out to be somekind of a Lady´s circle - unintentionally aswell.
All in all, I really enjoyed the outdoors again, I got to feel nature again and saw what is currently happening. The winds, and the boars somewhat wandering at a distance in the woods but still somewhat in a circular motion around us. Oh, and Grandmother Spider paid me a visit too - as soon as I had opened my bundle. I felt good in the group, was relaxed and the time seemed to stand still up there - a wonderful feeling compared to the hustle and bustle one is constantly surrounded by in the city.
So, whoever felt like this could be something that could take place more often :-)… we already talked about a possible “Wandertag”- a day of hiking, when it´s a bit warmer.
- still a little snow up there...
