For visually challenged writers, the image shows a wide, summer landscape, seen from a narrow path near the top of a hill that looks out across a valley.
She didn’t remember the path being this narrow, neither the age it took to climb.
But the view, oh yes…… she remembered the view.
It hadn’t changed. Man hadn’t found a way to exorcise this natural beauty.
Maybe the Ancestors were having the last laugh.
Her own echoed down the hillside.
Oh the days of running free, hair streaming behind her like gold ribbons in the sun.
Falls and scrapes, rolling down the grassy slopes, chasing dreams and rainbows, happiness seen in everything. There were few clouds on her horizon then.
Tales of white giants and mystical steeds, folklore and wishes of the past, promises of times yet to come.
She kept walking. Careful steps, back to yesterday and away from tomorrow.
A gentle tug on her sleeve, she looked down into bright shining eyes, a vision of her younger self.
This was their time, and she could relive her memories through them, weaving her own stories of myths and legends, bringing the landscape alive.

This is beautiful, Di. And reminds me of how I learned, walking with my grandparents.
Memories for me of such paths Sue. Not so high though, but the view was wonderful and the air so clean in those days.
It was almost always the high places we walked… and the air sparkled.
That is a lovely vision Sue
What a lovely vision indeed
This is a beautiful story Di.
I love this, Di. The descriptions are beautiful.
Thanks Roberta. Happy memories of places similar.
This is so beautiful Di, I see an old woman running down the slope holding hands with herself at her prime of life and herself as a child 💜💜
