It was our second night for outdoor camping, courtesy of Theresa. Her front yard made a perfect base for the afternoon and evening. She shared with us the various visitors at her property. They include, deer, elk, cougar, and grizzly bears, just to name the big ones. One night, she found that her chicken pen was almost completely cleared out by a couple of hungry grizzlies. I guess you could say that certain types of drop in entities are not always welcome. For our comfort, opening up her home to four grown men, is nothing short of kind, and it’s this kindness that always makes a long travel most pleasant.
Michael has been taking a lot of footage on his camera for an upcoming documentary he plans which is meant for promoting walking as meditation. A lot of the shooting is taking place along the Elk River. Having a river by your side as a walker is like having a cheerleader to prod you on. And when you have a camera man along with you, it’s double cheers. We may not have the Ganges here, but in Canada we have plenty of clean streams that energize all that are in close proximity to it. I happen to be the blessed recipient who’s trailing along the Elk River.
And being exposed to the road, whether on or off camera, brings the attention of many weekenders who are returning home for a new week’s routine. One couple I know from Calgary, Aurelius and Callie, spotted me and pulled over to join in the last phase of the trek today. It’s great to have companions like the river and people. This couple is excellent at preparing tinctures, but the one Aurelius gave me, all packaged perfectly, good for hair, skin and teeth, is a tincture made from the plant horsetail. Here again is a gesture of kindness, or if we could use the term, good social intercourse.
May the Source be with you!
