The walking paths of Tucson are a wonderful gift. Over one hundred twenty miles of paved paths, designed exclusively for walkers, runners, and bike riders. These beautiful creations follow dry river beds which carry monsoon rain waters throughout the city. The riverbed "washes" are filled with life, both plant and animal, giving one the feeling of being immersed in nature when in actuality there may be a major road just thirty or forty yards away. Tucson's paths are among the many reasons we decided to make The Old Pueblo our new home.
As I continue my own path through life, I find Tucson's walking paths to be an integral part of existence. They have become my path of contemplation. Creators of this remarkable achievement, I salute you and give one man's thanks for your vision. "Muchas Gracias", "Mahalo", et "Merci" for this invaluable gift.
Nothing I have discovered is more stimulating to my thought process than time spent alongside the pure nature of planet Earth. Casting off negativity and embracing positive creative flow seems to be the norm as one shares the trail with countless categories of fascinating desert plants and creatures. I have felt the same exhilaration of thought while enjoying Pu'u road on Kauai, strolls through the wonders of Paris, and stimulating hikes in the Rockies of Wyoming and Colorado. No matter where we happen to be, nature sits waiting .. waiting for us to join Her for a magical stroll, accompanied by a generous message of enlightenment.
A few days ago I was running on my favorite portion of trail when the following thought came to me: "I wonder how large a container it would take to contain all the spit, sweat, and snot that has been cast upon this path by bikers, walkers, and runners since it was constructed?"
I continued running and suppose those people who approached me head-on from the other direction wondered why I had such a ridiculous grin on my face.
