nature is my nurture!

dear whatever,

So, I have been seeing things lately- nop not as in going nutty,
not, going over the deep end....
But, like signs- just picking up on some really cool vibes and ideas- and I have been playing around with them inside my head & I find it to be quite refreshing.

For example, learning from nature. Beautiful. Just paddling around in a canoe and FEELING. Feeling the water, the air, the way I relate to everything around me and how it relates back to me- the energy that is constantly embracing and vibrating all around and through us.

I had a beautiful day a couple days ago. A friend from Quebec, Marie asked me if I could join her to head up to a reservation is Esqiumalt to pick up her friends canoe and paddle it back to James Bay in Vic- about a four hour trip. So, I was like totally up for that. The water wasn't very calm, but the scenery was stunning, huge mountains just raising up in the distance like peaceful giants.

At first, I was really putting a lot of effort into watching my paddle, and exerting a lot of energy to push forward, but I found that I kept missing things. Marie continued to have to mention things like, "look at those seals" or, "can you hear someone playing a flute?"

I was MISSING the trip. I was so caught up in the end result, in the success of the strokes of my paddle that I was just separating myself from what I was really after- experiencing nature, chilling, connecting, and learning.

So, I stopped.

I took a deep breath- and a learned how to relax and feel a little more at peace, and a little more disconnected from the reach of time and commitment.

Beautiful.

I seen my first seal- sun bathing on a log.

I gathered sea shells and pissed in a cave outside a million dollar home.

good night
