Early Morning

I remember, three miles in, how quiet it was. I heard only the gentle sounds of rain and wind, swaying trunks and branches, the movement of the creek, and my breathing. I’m used to silence, but what I experienced that day wasn’t an empty quiet. It was positively alive. Consider the distant light and the deeply shaded greens alongside the trail. Feel the life in this image and let it make you feel positively alive. (Cascade Head Rainforest Trail)
