Yesterday.....Mystic trail is short and a little hidden--I almost drove right by it. I checked out the other end of the trail, it ends at a cul de sac in a residential neighborhood. Barely a sign visible, only one with the word "bicycles" and a big arrow. Hmmmm. Someone is keeping this gem to themselves. I am glad I found it.
A little rabbit greeted me when I got out of the car. This is a short trail, but it's positioned to have some incredible views and there is a light "happy" feeling. I started thinking of it as "Happy Trail." It is situated between two neighborhoods, so I am thinking it may be a neighborhood walk area. One neighborhood person used a little side trail and walked to the spot where I was doing "Earth Ki Gong." It was nice sharing my Ki Gong practice with someone else. She enjoyed it and asked me to teach her some breathing techniques for energy flow. It was a nice way to start the day and reminded me how much I enjoy teaching. The photo of the flat stone with white covering is where I did Earth Ki Gong.
This happy trail also had a very happy dog. She was with an older couple and they let her walk ahead of them without a leash. She was excitedly running up and down the little hills. I walked up to her and patted her fur around her head and neck. I asked her if she was having fun and she let out a loud dog yelp. I could feel what she was feeling. There was truly happy energy emanating from this little trail. I wonder if that is why it is called mystic.
Today's gratitude award is presented to the young lady at REI in Tempe, who helped me with new laces for my hiking boots. Such a small touch made a big difference. It is like I have new, lighter shoes (see photo). It added peace to my journey.
Even if you never make it to Sedona, I am sending happiness from this trail.
