Memorial Day Hike


Memorial Day hike with Kumar, Naomi (11), and Anna (8). We explored a trail new to us on San Bruno Mountain -- Summit Loop Trail. It was simply marvellous: the weather, the views over about half of the Bay Area, the abundant wild flower, and the exercise, too.

Upon return I snooped around a bit and came across this poem by Angel Sharum (2008):
Awaken the senses
Explore and learn
Treasure the seasons
Natures' beauty at every turn

Climbing rocks
Walking trails
Leaves and grasses
The surface we sail

Open yourself up
Listen with your heart
Hear the wild calling
Become a whole, not part

Enjoy the majesty
Take in the sublime
Don't rush
Take time

Feel the wonder
The breeze on the air
Feel the sunlight
And be aware
Magnificent and beautiful
All coexisting
Excellence and perfection
The power of hiking

Location:San Bruno Mountai
