Being On a Hike<\/strong><\/p>\n

So You Agreed to
\nA Hike.<\/p>\n

On a Trail
\nwith more
\nArduous
\nPeaks and Valleys
\nthan a Snake
\nDraped over an
\nAccordion.<\/p>\n

Even though
\n\u201cHiking\u201d doesn\u2019t
\nmake the Top 100
\non Your
\n\u201cActually Want to Do\u201d List,
\nat the Top of which is
\n\u201cHave a Cinnamon Roll
\nat that Weird Looking
\nCoffee Shop
\nwith the neon
\nUnicorn in the Window.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Why
\nare You
\nHiking?<\/p>\n

Because You were
\nAsked to by
\nThe Love of Your Life, or
\nYour Firstborn Grandchild, or
\nYour New Neighbor.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s The Thing:<\/p>\n

You will Be Tempted to
\nLet your Pet
\nNemesis,
\nShame,
\ncome with You,
\nWalking beside You
\nChattering on about
\n\u201cWhat\u2019s Wrong With You?
\nEVERYBODY Loves a
\nGood Hike.
\nIt\u2019s Nature!\u201d<\/p>\n

If You can,
\nTell Shame to
\n\u201cTake a Hike.\u201d
\nSomewhere Else.<\/p>\n

What You
\nWant to Do,
\nOne Step at a Time, is<\/p>\n

Breathe In,
\nBreathe Out,<\/p>\n

Just Be.<\/p>\n

On a Hike.<\/p>\n
