Walks

Ever since I moved to Wivenhoe, I started to walk to work. It takes about 30 minutes when I walk fast. Every time I mention it to someone, they pity me that I have to walk so much. Truth is that these walks are probably the best moment of my day.

When I lived in the other appartment, I had it approximately two minutes to work which was very convenient. However I missed going outside. I felt that the days are either too short or I was lazy to get out, so I appreciated the opportunity of walking to work. Fortunately it is getting warmer and days are getting longer. It is like a miracle to observe the changes in nature. Every day I get to see and appreciate something new.

These walks are for me like an ocean of inspiration, motivation and beauty. It is an escape to nature, a blessing to walk along the river surrounded by trees, bushes and flowers. I can’t help it, but I always imagine the Shire, hobbits and all the magic from Tolkiens books. And I understand that this place must’ve been so inspirational for him, because I think about new stories and ideas every day.

Almost every time, I enjoy beautiful weather and many bird companions. If I am tired or sad, I can usually find peace, energy and harmony in all the green and blue. The sounds are calming as well. I noticed recently, that I am very vulnerable to noisy places like our workplace. The tremendous sound itself is making me tired, so I really appreciate quiet and nature. It is a place where I can always find answers or just rest.

On the other hand, sometimes I need a bit of Wolfmother or any other rock/loud/crazy music to let it out. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
