Walk 76

Waterton Town Site, Alberta
The wind tosses us from one year to the next, and it's not giving up now.  First walk of 2021, first Friday walk*, first time I've been in Waterton in 120 km/h gusts.  Upper Waterton Lake looks like the ocean today.  The relentless sound of it all, wind-battered faces, air blown out of our lungs, and tears out of our eyes.

*This first Walking the Land First Friday Walk of the year in response to Thomas Clark's poem In Praise of Walking, these lines in particular: "
Wrong turnings, doubling back, pauses and digressions, all contribute to the dislocation of a persistent self-interest. / Everything we meet is equally important or unimportant."  With thanks to Kel, Richard, Tom, and all the First Friday walkers.
