*One of the great benefits of hiking is that it releases us from
the burden of visual covetousness. In our
modern world we are bombarded with visual images, humans, cars, iPhones, homes
etc. Our eyes create in us a continual
and relentless desire to own which leads to slavery to possess, which readily
moves to covetousness. However when hiking
we are relieved of the burden of ownership.
No one can own a tree, a river, a mountain or a waterfall, we can only
enjoy it. Another readily available benefit
of this is it can lead us to ask, “Who made this?” which is a worthy question
to consider.
