It is interesting how little empty passageways can bring us peace. A via waiting to be chosen, explored, journeyed through. Both of these photos are taken in places I know well and have walked through often.
The first is on the docks in Sausalito, CA on the way to my mother's houseboat with Mt. Tamalpais elegantly tranquil in the distance. The alleyway (vicolo in Italian) below was passed through for years, day in day out on bicycles on the way to the Elementary School for my girls.
Do you remember a beaten path from your childhood that even now to think of it brings you peace? You may have one now, in the city that you live, cutting behind buildings, a break in a fence. A secret way to get there faster or to be seen less. In my childhood we even had a name for our path, "Meet you at the top of the Huckleberry Trail".
Today as the hot summer winds down in Italy and in California and where ever you are. I encourage you to find a path to travel that brings you peace, name it, walk it, bring someone with you.
With affection,
Natalie
