What I really wanted today was a long walk, hopefully uphill and definitely long enough to warrant a lunch. And I got it and loved it.

I did the Dove Hill/Brilliant Overlook hike above Castlegar. This hike is usually pretty busy. I saw one person all day.

It was warm. It was sunny. Flowers everywhere.

Bluebird sky.

And I came home to see more amazing work my fabulous Love did in the garden.

The one thing I mused on today during a hike where thinking was not a priority – how miraculous it actually is that in a world full of so many people, two find each other and somehow it works. Somehow these two people choose to spend their lives together and make it work – and become inseparable.

I don’t for one minute believe there is only one soul mate out there for each of us. On a planet of billions that would be absurd. But still, two people can find each other and want just that one person to the exclusion of all other possibilities.

I think that’s miraculous.

Lucky me.
