Sitting on a frozen lake


Had lunch on Lake Simcoe since I am doing workshops at a near by High School. It's weird to be parked in my truck on the ice, seeing the same lake I usually sail on.
Taking time by myself to have lunch here reminds me how important seclusion is for me...it helps me regenerate, in order to work with another group of 25 students making resumes.
I think there is value in taking time in the outdoors. I think of the Celtic society of 400A.D. that blended nature into all aspects of their life, work, family, and spiritual. Even today's psychologists see this value, like Philip Sutton Chard, the author of The Healing Earth. I think everyone could benefit from some good "time out" each day.
