My walk at sunrise yesterday was magical.

There was no wind and the crisp winter morning air made my usual 6km (3.75 mile) brisk walk a complete joy.

The morning frost on the tree branches had me smiling in appreciation of the beauty of a prairie winter.

All of these elements worked together to compose an satisfyingly healthy mind–body experience.

“But frost, like the crystallized dreams of autumn, began to coat the clearing with its sugar glaze.”
