Yesterday and today I took my morning walk along snowmobile tracks. The road is still so slick that I have to walk very slowly and watch closely, lest I fall. These tracks looked safer and held the propect of walking in the woods, so I left the icy road and, following the tracks, went into a field and then into the woods. Off the tracks the snow was more than a foot deep.
The sun was out both mornings and there was no wind. It was a comfort to walk in the snow with no sign of houses or cars. I don't recall ever hiking in the snow before. I walked only about half an hour. It was a pleasant adventure and a holy extension of the centering prayer that I do just before my morning walk.
