Well, one day I was out canoeing by myself, and a Mom loon came floating along with a little baby loon, basically right up beside my boat. I stopped paddling, and they floated along with me for a good few minutes.
I love your story, it gives me goose bumps. My most favorite life experiences are in a canoe. I love being on the water, in the sun or when the long blue shadows come at dusk. I love the sky as it is reflected on the water. This could/would be enough but then you add the birds....oh Joy! The red wing black birds flying toward their night time roost. They move like a black ribbon twisting and turning over the mirror water in a flow of silence. I can hear their wing beats ever so softly. Thousands of them all moving as one being. It makes my heart skip a beat and my voice silenced as I inhale and wait till the stream of black feathered life writhes over my head and dissapears beyond leaf bare trees. I am in love at that moment with the hightened sense of oneness. The intoxication of life. thank you for reminding me of this bliss. Jai
