Undeterred by a little rain, a group of us from our chapter went to Muir Woods for a walk and reflection. I have to admit that I was a little hesitant at going to Muir Woods at first because of the rain, but we had a determined group. It was encouraging that our oldest member, Molly, was the most determined to go. Once we arrived, we were all happy that we were there. Muir Woods is a beautiful place and I think all of us wondered why we had not been there in so long.
We took a nice walk but ended when the rain was starting to come down a little harder. Since we could not listen to the readings that I had brought outside, I read them in Carol’s car with the moon roof open. Perhaps not the ideal place, but we all got the idea. Thanks to Shosh’s handy GPS and Carol’s superior driving, we arrived safely at our destination for lunch, Small Shed Flatbreads in Mill Valley. I think everyone liked lunch.
On the way to Muir Woods, the discussion in the car revolved around the stressing events of our lives. On the way back, everyone was laughing and happy. It seems that our walk in the woods cleared our heads and helped us appreciate nature. I think it is a lesson that a short walk in the woods can do a lot for our souls. I might go take another walk today!
Today is Tu B’Shvat. Happy Birthday to the trees! Nature is revived as symbolized by the budding of the almond tree. Speaking of trees, did you know that we plant seeds for the future professional of Israel via the great work done by Hadassah College Jerusalem (HCJ). Did you know that Hadassah College Jerusalem has these schools offering all of these programs? I didn’t! And this is just the Academic College. HCJ also has: Pre-Academic Studies, School of Practical Engineering, School of Culinary Arts and Tachlit Center for Continuing Education.
