Go Hiking And Create Something

Why not? You are hiking with lots of time to think. Nature surrounds you so everything is fresh. You can write a poem in your head or a song. Maybe the outlines of q speech you re going to give soon.

Creating when you’re climbing a mountain is natural. It helps you feel creative when you have the sun, wind or rain beating down on you.

A Song

You don’t believe it? Of course, you won’t know until you try, but I can give you an example of a song I wrote while climbing Mailbox Peak. I had it copyrighted. Now, I just need to get Willie Nelson to sing it unless my guitar playing and singing get a lot better. Here is is,

It’s an uphill battle
The trail goes on and on
Every step I’m takin gets me closer to the dawn
Then it’s on and on again, never any rest
All I know for sure is, I will do my best.
I don’t know if I’ll make it all the way
But I’m going to make it through the day.

Toss and turn all night
Everything’s a fight
Bad things on my left and on my right
It’s just a challenge
Got to keep it tight
And the Lord has got me in His sight
I don’t know if I’ll make it all the way
But I’m going to make it through the day.

Question on my mind
What is it I’ll find
When I make it through the awful time
I hope it will be something I can use again
Maybe it will keep me from some sin
I don’t know if I’ll make it all the way
But I’m going to make it through the day.

I did patent it. That is how big my ego is.

Hey, Willie Nelson!! Come and get it!
