Muir Woods After a Friday in the City

Better than coffee,
or hair of the dog.
Better than a slap in the face,
or greasy bar food.

My tonic?
A sturdy pair of shoes
and a long hike
through Middle Earth come alive,
with companions for exploration
         of trails and vistas,
         of evolution and adaptation.

My tonic?
A cup of good clean Earth.
