A simple walkabout in Long Island’s Prosser Pines Nature Preserve brought me so much peace and serenity. It is quite unavoidable to step softly because the carpet of pine needles beneath my hiking shoes demand it.

As I observed the near silence of my trek, I gazed up at the tops of the mighty pine trees. They gently swayed back and forth and at the same time, a delightful wafting of the scent of the pine forest brought a smile to my face.

I love trees and hiking among them. Throughout the nearly 2 years of restrictions of Covid, I found more and more peace and serenity walking among the trees.
