I AM officially a thru- hiker ! From Georgia-Maine. 14 states ,2198.4 miles on the Appalachian Trail. A spiritual ,spirit- filled journey. A rites of passage into the next phase of life .
Waking up to birdsong, loons calling over still water , the glow of a sunrise filtering through trees - and yes the obnoxiously loud hiss of a fellow hikers air mattress deflating.
I AM filled to the brim with gratitude: for the thru- hiker community, trail angels , for every hostel , every kind one who offered a ride , a hot meal , a shower or simply a word of encouragement.
There is a quietness about my soul now ~
More compassion
More Joy
More Gratitude
The quiet transformation is often the true reward not just reaching Katadin , but what it awakens inside of you .
I AM deeply grateful to my family and friends;your support made this possible ❤️
