Caboosing

Posted on   August 7,2019   By Linda Compisi

Recently, we were up in the Sierra mountains and enjoyed several days of hiking. I love hiking. I am a slow walker, hiker, skier, biker…etc. Basically, I am always the last one, in other words, the caboose. I have realized that walking my own slower pace, I ruminate all that is going on in my life, past, present and future. I also realized that somewhere along that path all those thoughts fall away and I find myself in a quiet place in my head. It is a peaceful, quiet and relaxed place. I notice the sounds and smells of nature. The colors seem brighter. I like the feeling of that solitude. There is definitely an advantage of being the “caboose”.

I highly recommend a hike, walk, saunter, whatever…take your time and smell the pine trees!
