(past blog)The things we choose not to say usually affect us the most I find... Not to impugn or belittle the feelings we receive from the words we hear another say such as the overly used but oddly not enough "I love you"..... The stuff I talk about are those last few thoughts. Those things that dwell on your mind and never seem to escape those air wholes in your face for a brief moment of release....
This Blog is way over due - and for that I apologize. Here I am thinking that the only people who read this thing have been living with me over the last two months.... HA!....... Or at least - here in the Forest of ClearWater I would hope someone else in this global land of love to find time to take a gander into my life. my thoughts. my dreams hopes and loves.
This is the finale night of an amazing camp summer.
I know I know - "cool" doesn't come to mind when you think of "camp". But I assure you that nothing is cooler or more beautiful then a lake glistening with the mist of a morning dew as you awaken to breathe in air that welcomes your day in the freshest of ways.
I am a city boy through and through - but come summer I bear down and release my inner Canadian as I live through dirt-bugs-aches and pains - and through a community that not only embraces the gratitude - but loves unconditionally.
I find my self staring Sister Earth in the face and awing at how she comforts me as a loving older sibling as I the younger destructive brother - trash down and litter upon her soils.
You take in a lot when you have the time and the environment.... But for a pause for thought - I urge anyone and everyone to walk through their towns and find those environmentally beautiful places that make you go "oooo - aaaaa".... Now don't think of this as a World Wild Life Federation type of environmental - but I believe that although our towns may not be as green as the grass that blows on the summer plains of a forest - or inhabits creatures as beautiful as even the bluest blue jay scoping out new territories.
It takes a lot to find beauty in the things you find regular or amongst the status quo. But fella's - I'm living. Are you?
Take a look at the sky - tell me what you see?
It takes a lot to give and to take.... This summer I both gave and took what inevitably became a most uplifting summer.
But the hardest part of it all is to end. I'd better leave it unsaid ------ HA!
Have you ever known me to be someone to hold something back?.................... Okay sure maybe that one ti............... Alright ..........................shut up.
Goodbyes suck.... There's soo much poetry in it - but unless we are looking for a good cry on the sofa - actually busting one out is not the heart uplifting thing as one might assume.
Goodbye Camp Friends... Ontario Pioneer Camp friends and family. I welcome you all to my interactive online contact service of love and care... The moment I can (and I will) WILL WILL WILL email you back...... Keep safe - and see you in the summa summa time!

(be advised all my Skat readers ---- I wrote a lot during the summer. A couple of 1 hour blog blitz writing moments.... So keep posted and you'll be in for many a treat! ---- I begun with the last one due to the relevancy of it still being rather close....... Goodnight!)
