Here, I've learned, is what to do if you wake up in a funk today.
I recently did, and decided to follow my parish priest’s (Fr. Paul Truebenbach’s) recent prescriptions for depression: prayer, exercise, focus on needs of others.
So, there I was, in the early morning trek through the icons of nature, the words of the Trisagion and Creed on my lips, as I hiked through and around forest trails, flowers, wildlife, and streams around the Wheeler Farm Historic Site.
For me, the beauty, steps, breaths, and ancient prayers culminated in perspective, and peace.
