The Remedy

[Aaron Zagrodnick]

I sit in my car, parked at the trailhead, and pout. The lot is deserted- the shaded Summit Park Peak trail could be all mine. But I don’t want to be here. My dog sits shotgun, feigning patience, her head cocked to one side. I envy Cholula’s endless energy, her innate ability to just BE- to live in the moment and relish simple joys. It’s the combination of her eagerness and my own guilt that finally prompts me to get out of the car and just start walking.
