Topic of Choice- Trail Magic
Little acts of kindness are so
easy to do and make a large impact. I especially think this is true for long
distance hiking. We don’t call it acts of kindness when we are talking about
long distance hiking we call it trail magic but that’s what it is. In the real
world we forget how much of a difference our small actions make on others. We
are so focused on ourselves that we completely forget to stop and help others
even in small ways. I think this is why trail magic is powerful. People go on
long distance hikes for a variety of reasons but a lot of them stem from some
kind of discontentment with the outside world. Trail magic is a reminder that
people are kind and look out for each other. It creates this connection between people and
helps to rebuild faith with the world. If someone you never knew or did
anything for can take time to buy food for you or open up their home maybe the
world is okay. Trail magic is restorative and that’s why I think it’s such a
vital part of the long distance hiking experience.
