The girls and I went for walk-run up the Provo canyon trail. The girls fought through the first few minutes but then nature started to distract them from irritating each other. Sierra said as we were rounding a corner, "When I look at these woods, it reminds me of Joseph Smith going into the woods to pray. Do you think he prayed in these woods?" I told her these weren't the woods but I know it was in beautiful woods just like these. It reminded me of all the times I had roller bladed up this canyon in my youth and been filled with those thoughts too and especially the words to a hymn, "When within the shady woodlands Joseph saw the God above." I love the peacefulness of nature and how it allows us to reflect.
