Yet again Mother Nature has intervened. Today we would have
attempted to paddle our hardest to beat the wind, but as the rain and cold held
us hostage in Canada so the wind halts our progress here in Mexico. So instead
of constant paddle strokes we finished a few lessons that were overdue. Some of
us sat on the beach talking of the past or future. All of us enjoyed the
present. As strong as the wind was today, watching the white cappe3d wave3s
roll over in the distant sea was beautiful. I sat for a while with Kenny, Greg,
and Curtis at the shoreline just watching the water come in and out
The
land and all the land we have visited has been so powerful. The water here is
our mode of travel, the same as it was in Canada yet the two places are
extremely different. While this place is warm and inviting Canada was cold and
challenging. No matter where we go or where we have been we must listen to
nature. Today it told us to stay put. Nature has taught us so much and has more
to give. Nature has shown us its raw power such as our journey into Yellowstone
National Park where we could feel the heat under our feet. In both Canada and
here in Mexico we can feel the power and witness. Firsthand the power of water.
Nature
has called us out here to come together and be done with it. Though it may
burn, drench us in sweat, soak us in waves we welcome it because nature is a
part of who we are.
