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?

Connect with Nature

I took some time for photography and sketching during my visit to the Black River. I just love the look of white snow and evergreens back dropped by a blue sky. Laying on a warm rock and just stared at the sky and trees. There is something about being so close to nature, it helps me connect to how God designed me.

I remember my camp counsellor in Agonquin Park say “once you pick up a paddle you’ll never be the same”. It’s true. It's kind of like the connection that the early Celtic people had in 400A.D. They saw God’s design and wisdom in nature….like Jesus said “even the rocks will cry out”. How do you connect with your design?
