“The Stairs” in the Hocking Hills of Ohio

MQTlogoa For a Spiritual start to the day “The Stairs” by T.D. Garrison and a couple photos of mine taken in the Hocking Hills of Ohio.

Oh long and dark the stairs I trod,
with stumbling feet to find my God,
Gaining a foothold bit by bit
Then slipping back and losing it.

There came a certain time when I
Loosened my hold and fell thereby,
Down to the lowest step my fall
As if I had not climbed at all.

And as I lay despairing there,
there came a footfall on the stairs
And 'lo' when hope had ceased to be
My God came down the stairs to me.

What a meaningful poem to start the day. I like to walk on these kind of forest stairs to enjoy nature. The Hocking Hills of Ohio really looks like a nice place to hike. Lucky you and Linda.

BTW, your trailer looks so shiny and cool. Must be fun to travel around in the trailer.
