| so im back from minnesota. All in all it was worthwhile venture. My body is in the best condition its been in my whole life..don't mind the half a pack of ciggarettes i smoked today..im tan all over except for my upper thighgs..hair is lone (its getting trimmed tomorrow because matt has to become a working man again), and im just at peace pretty much.. I made 2 new friends and 2 new enemies, but those enemies i will never see again, so fuck them. I saw pristine lakes surrounded by sheer cliffs. I even saw a 1,300 year old cedar tree. Waterfalls, poison ivy, mooses, bears, deer, fish, loons, and ducks..i saw all of those too. Sunsets that will be emblazened in my mind for a lifetime or two. I chickened out of a 60 foot repel down a cliff, but i climbed two other cliffs that were twice as high. I carried a 70 pound canoe for 2 miles one time. I pushed myself to the limit, took a ten minute break, and pushed some more. Every night i fell asleep to the collective buzz of millions of mosquitoes and flies. I paddled in fog so thick you couldn't see the other half of the canoe you were sitting in. I swam in crystal clear waters that are remenents of glaciers that carved that land tens of thousands of years ago. I cried at night from missing the ones i loved. I laughed at night from enjoying my time with the only people i had. I walked through woods where no human had been in well over a year. I stood in the middle of a forest while a massive lightning storm raged around me, and i saw that storm clear and the sun come out.. Every morning when i walked out of the tent, i counted down the days until i went home..and now im sitting here typing this, and im counting down the days until i go back next summer. I'm not changed, just self aware. goodnight. |
