8 ECHOES

Location: Stirling, Stirling, Scotland, United Kingdom

This nature trail walk inspired these poems and will allow listeners to experience what it's like to walk in nature with honest thoughts and a woman's journey to self-discovery.

Blank Slate

This is the first location to inspire the poem "Blank Slate." In this location, I questioned why I was at Stirling, what I wanted to do, and who I wanted to be.

Ancient Beauty

Coming to Scotland for the first time, I was constantly looking at the nature around me wondering how long it lived on this land. This country is centuries old, so the foliage had to be just as old. This poem captures my curiosity and awe of the nature on this walk.

Butterfly Effect

Although I was just taking a walk on a nature trail, the butterfly effect is all around when I turn off a leaf or pick up a rock. Everything I touch has a consequence which inspired this poem.

J.M. Barrie

The final location of this nature walk is a garden of remembrance. This is where I spent the majority of my time outdoors. I would walk by each bench, see the names of people long gone, and thank them for their contribution to this garden.

Waiting in Limbo

Nearing the end of my journey, I have become weary of my past and the unknown future that awaits me.

1 sound

Forgotten Memories

This is not the first journey I've taken on this path. But there are times I forget which direction to take. All I need to remember is to follow my instincts and have faith.

1 sound

Step by Steady Step

The further this journey progresses, the more I realize what I've left behind and where I'm actually going.

1 sound

Ghost of My Heart

It's only natural for me to become sentimental when out in nature. The sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling in the wind provide a tranquil experience. My mind thinks back to other walks I've been on before and reminisce about the past.
