Better Left Unsaid

(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!)
