FACING THE FUTURE TOGETHER
Uplift Walk
​
Go on an Uplift Walk,
that would be my way.
Others may stomp around
or trounce heavy-footed down the trail.
I would choose
to go on an Uplift Walk.
​
It begins with altering your stride,
stepping light-footed with buoyancy
and a smile throughout the whole of you.
Then a deep sigh,
a gentle slowness and calm as you proceed,
opening your awareness to nature
and the unseen worlds
(humming or whistling optional).
​
Cherish this walk, for
there is Hope in the colors of a flower,
Uplift in the quiet sounds on the breeze,
Exhilaration in the shade of a tree,
Elation in the smoothness of a stone
to brighten and raise your spirits.
They are there
waiting to be seen and appreciated.
Go on an Uplift Walk,
that would be my way.
