This week
has been more of a struggle than I have ever faced in my entire life. The field
of adventure recreation has proved to have far more complexities than I could
have ever imagined. This has clouded my mind throughout this week with stress
and doubt. When we arrived at Lake Superior I had all my stresses melted away.
The stunning shoreline endlessly called for my attention. I could not be
brought down by any remark of reminder of my workload. Later that night as I
was cradled to sleep on a rocky shoreline with the lullaby of crashing waves
easing me to sleep I had my first night under the stars on Ecoee. I was
reminded of something, nature brings my soul to piece. The vast never ending
canvas of stars in the night sky brought back the same wonder I had as a child.
I was the luckiest man on earth with tickets to a show that most people pay to
avoid. What ever happens in my life I know I will be trying to impart the same
passion for nature onto others.
