FINALLY! BACK TO ‘THE BRIG’ — Leed’s Eco-Trail
***
NJWILDBEAUTY readers know how important weekend adventures are to me, –the essentiality of refilling the well, emptied daily in our work, saving the Planet.
***
And Beloved Leed’s Point, (near home of the Jersey Devil, whom I long to meet!)

Some of you also know about February’s torn meniscus — healing enough that I’ve been back on the trails. But p.t. takes hours daily, –some in private, some with kind, gentle, dedicated coaches. There remains too little time for creativity with all this body-building. The whole point of this work on “glutes, hamstrings and core” is to get back outside. Come with me to recent restorative havens.

For these scenes, these full days in the wild, all those intense hours of physical therapy, with John Walker of Princeton Orthopaedic Group; and of chiropractic with Brandon Osborne, D.C., are worth it. Whatever it takes to give yourselves the wild, do it!
I dare to rephrase Thoreau: “In wildness is the healing of the world.”
