Very nice walk that requires time. This reflection by J.J. Rousseau may apply...

" If there exists a state in which the soul finds sufficient balance to completely rest and rediscover itself without needing to remember the past or to anticipate the future, in which time means nothing to it, where the present always lasts without marking its own duration and without showing any trace of succession, where there is no feeling of deprivation, or enjoyment of joy or sadness, of desire or fear, only that of our existence, and if that feeling alone can fully satisfy it, then, as long as this state lasts, the one who finds themselves in it can call themselves happy: this is not the incomplete, wretched, and relative happiness found in the pleasures of life, but a perfectly complete and full happiness that leaves the soul no emptiness it wishes to fill."

Sturdy walking shoes recommended in wet weather.
