Most rivers have tension points. So does life. At Eau claire Gorge the river is very relaxed and easy-flowing. As elevation declines, water starts rushing and as the river banks narrow to become a gorge, it intensifies even more to create an explosion of water before it relaxes again. Signs for canoers indicate that the gorge is not passable. No doubt the spot is beautiful. Life or even a day in life is similar. Sometimes portaging is smart at tension points.
Yovany's day was relaxed. I asked him to stay with out hosts, the Ratra family, for the day. Their two sons, Varuna, 13, and Pranav, 8, are very bright boys and they respond very well to him as if he's a big brother. I see the two boys as future leaders and now is a good time for favourable spirited injection.
Kristen Shepherd is a lovely soul who appreciates metaphysical subject matter. After yesterday's interview on her'Wonder Files' program, she invited Doug and Billie to come in the next day for an interview. Zander from Moose FM ran down to the North Bay's waterfront to talk with Doug and I for an upcoming radio broadcast. Zander is also good-natured. And further down the highway in Mattawa, Gerry from the Mattawa Recorder newspaper, came to ask some questions about the walk. He was fine. Great people!
Shad-flies, very short-lived opaque winged flies clinged to windows and blocked the northern views in the North BVay area. May illusion (maya), which currently blinds and absorbs each and every one of us, be a short visitor.
