May the Force

May the Force
            You don’t have to stumble onto a Yoda statue to feel that some sort of positive force is with you.
            We can sense a nameless, uplifting force from love that emanates from people we care about, or from the mutual support we find within a community.
            Some people “feel the force” by attending religious gatherings.
            For some of us, being out in nature is our own personal church, where we understand that infinite, inexplicable forces surround us.
            Remember that the powers of goodness, hope and strength reverberate all around if we allow ourselves to tap into them.
            May we all find ways to connect with helpful, inspiring forces surrounding us. Keep putting one foot forward!
            This week’s Hike Notes, Yoda Fountain Stroll-The Presidio, introduces a lovely city walk on the manicured grounds of the Letterman Digital Arts Center/Lucasfilm area of the Presidio, highlighted by a fountain overseen by Yoda himself.
