Happy Hiking
A publication by Øivind H. Solheim — Medium
Happy Hiking is a publication for readers and writers who find comfort and strength in hiking.
We share our experiences, reflection, ideas and insights.
We invite hikers, writers, nature philosophers and photographers to join us and share their best stories.
What’s Hiking About?
Let us share our experiences
Hiking is about walking. And it’s about feeling, and thinking.
And it’s about so much, much more:
Health Exercise Reflection Insights Mental balance Inputs A better life … etc.
One of the best side-effects for me is that when I’m in a friendly or a challenging natural environment, I feel more, I sense stronger.
In a recent post on Happy Hiking, the heading was a question: “Do We Always Have to Go All the Way to the Top?”
The question asked raised the supplementary question whether it is necessary to climb all the way to the top every time. Can’t we just walk slowly, stop and enjoy the moment?
My answer is simple: Yes! Yes, we should not run too fast upwards. We should also take the time to rest. And think.
This is an invitation to you readers who are writers as well. And who are hikers.
You are very welcome to write and publish your stories from your hiking experiences, here in Happy Hiking.
I wish you a wonderful continued week, wherever you walk.
All the best
Happy Hiking
