hiking is such an important part of life.

Friends of this beautiful community, today I reflected on how hiking is such an important part of life. Walking in the mountains is much more than just a simple journey; it’s an experience that awakens all the senses. From the very first step, the fresh air feels different—clean and pure—filling the lungs with energy. The sound of the birds, the whisper of the wind through the trees, and the crunch of dry leaves underfoot accompany the path like a natural melody.

Each trail holds its own charm: some wind through pine forests that seem to touch the sky, while others follow crystal-clear streams that refresh the route. As you move forward, the mountain reveals unique landscapes: viewpoints offering breathtaking vistas, wildflowers painting the ground with colors, and ancient stones that seem to tell stories of times long past.

Hiking in the mountains is also an inner journey. The body is challenged by the climbs and descents, but at the same time the mind grows still. With each step, the noise of the city and daily worries are left behind, leading into a state of peace and connection with nature.

Reaching the summit, fatigue transforms into gratitude. Up there, surrounded by silence and grandeur, you realize how small you are and, at the same time, how fortunate you are to be able to walk, breathe, and contemplate such beauty.

A waterfall of beauty—unexpected crystalline waters full of charm—purifies the soul with its cold streams flowing down from the mountains. It is being alive and enjoying what God has given us...
