Thank knees

I am grateful for my knees and the time to use them while they still work. I have hiked to ruins of castles, abandoned hillsides, fortresses and vista points that change the way I see the world. Whether up stairs or sloped inclines, raw paths or paved stones smoothed by time. I am grateful for what my knees provide me, for what they show me and what they allow me. Thank you knees.

Whether up stairs or sloped inclines, raw paths or paved stones smoothed by time. I am grateful for what my knees provide me, for what they show me and what they allow me. Thank you knees. This is true now and always, but particularly when I am reminded that the world is a dangerous place. For some the wars of the world are not over and walking is much harder and even impossible for so many. I am grateful for my knees and the time to use them.
