What a strange feeling it is. Getting off the canoes into
civilization was a magical feeling. Leaving the green moss, the shady trees,
and the hidden gems of the Missinaibi River left me with feelings of wonder. I
had no connection to anything and could hear my own thoughts loud and clear
which made me very calm in the woods. A
fear that I would once again lose touch of my surroundings and myself. So how
do I keep it going? Can I feel and act the same way I did being covered and
lost in the woods? I am sitting in a van now and not a canoe. How much of a
difference is it actually? I have a lot of reflection to do at this time of my
life. The pros and the cons of are back country and front country are swarming
my mind. I enjoyed our meal together in a restaurant but I cannot help but
think I would enjoy some noodles out in the woods more. I have decisions to
make and things that need answers. To answer these questions I have exploring
that I need to accomplish. I want to keep my senses aware and stretch myself
from my comfort zone. I still have a lot to learn and I am happy to say I do
not think the learning will ever stop. Where am I going with what I am learning
and what am I becoming? I can only find what I am looking for by realizing
everything I am is right in front of me and that is where I begin exploring.
What a strange feeling it is to leave the woods to become a part of
civilization once again but what a magical feeling it is. The woods is dark and
deep but it brings light to what is important. Nature speaks to those who
listen and if you listen carefully. You will find out things that no one else
may never know.
