Natural Healing

Time to get the sailboat ready! Natural Heeling was the name of my boat when I purchased it, and I kept the name. It reminded me of how nature can calm the soul. Sailing out of Bing Inlet with my buddy Neil, we anchored near the tree in the picture. It was the same area where Tom Thomson, of the Group of Seven lived and painted.
I staired at the tree and rocks and thought how little they have changed from the Group of Seven days. In a world full of change it's nice to be near, climb, and touch things that have not changed for hundreds of years. It makes me think of what legacy am I going to leave? Time in nature is actually a catalyst for me to change.
How does nature heal you?

Break the Fear of Change

Spinning in circles, around and around. That's how ice trapped in an eddie, flows at the bottom of a waterfalls. During my weekend at Black River I could see for three days, from the cottage, the same piece of ice trapped in an eddie. It made me think about life’s routine and how difficult it can be to break out of a safe routine.
Walking down to the edge of the eddie I pushed a log with my foot to see if it would escape ebb circle, but it got pushed back by the force of the river.
I think it takes a strong push for people to break the fear of change. That push can come from the “inside”, a value or need not being met, or "external", by a person or event that makes you wake up. I think my need for solitude and my constant work with people is pushing me to find a different work environment. What kind of pushes have you experienced?
