Paddle Board Series #1

Resist the temptation and directives to place nation and self before others. Search out the glowing light in others, and lift it up for all to see.  The land takes its rest from sunbaked skies, and blankets itself in quilts of white and crystal shimmer.  Be open to others and embrace the changes they also bring to our lives. We are of one family on this planet, and will only dance with the joy of acceptance when we resist the move towards isolation.

Paddle strokes heard through the morning mist foreshadow an artist in search of inspiration. Algonquin presents its gifts to all who are willing to receive. Some see landscapes in vibrant colours and bold brushstrokes, while others pass without thought. Be a painter with your presence. Protect the forest, and guide others to respect its treasures. Move slowly, and absorb the vistas before you. Take pause from devices that distract, and discover your inner Thomson.
