Assignment 5; Second Draft

Walking in Woods

Walking allows me to slow down and fully experience and appreciate the landscape through which I travel.  When walking in woodland, it is easy to lose and find oneself again, to reflect, meditate and to reconnect with the world.  Footpaths disappearing into the distance are seductive.  Woods can be places of mystery and paths often wind and twist, seeming to have no purpose except to be followed. 

The horizon is limited and paths sometimes disappear round corners or into a hole in the vegetation leaving the walker to speculate on where they might lead.

At other times paths may be indefinite and ephemeral; so faint as to be nearly not paths.

Some paths are not as they seem.  At first they may appear to be a path, but when followed they lead to where no human would go.
