Repetition

I have been going for walks in the woods around the house. I have become more adept at finding my way and figuring out where I am.
It is simple repetition really. You do it often enough and you get your markers. You make enough mistakes and eventually you master the task. It is nice to get a concrete illustration. My confidence is such that I now enjoy the excursions on the property. They were almost anxiety-provoking at first. Now, I feel more at home, more adventurous and I appreciate the outing a bit more each day. I can actually walk slowly and finish the loop in very little time because I know what I am doing. Shortly now the leaves will come out and I will have to relearn the woods. The dogs' view is closer to the earth. Visually, I don't know that it changes that much. I sometimes wonder if I would find my way more easily on all fours. Eventually, I will take pictures of the woods from their point of view, try and see it through their eyes.
