What I have learned about doing things when I can’t see
I love to hike and trail run at night. When I first turn off my headlamp I usually can’t see in front of me but after a short period of time my eyes adjust, my walking stride adjusts, and my foot plant adjusts. I feel more connected to myself and to nature. Darkness allows me to tap into the power of my other senses.
