May the gentle presence of water in its natural forms-rivers, ocean, streams touch a deep part of me that is longing for connection, for release from old anxieties, fears, outdated beliefs. I travel with a friend who I've learned has many core values in common with me-respect for the land, sensitivity to all the serious ways mankind has abused/overused the natural world, and poisoned so much of our natural habitat, the creatures of land and sky, our air, our food sources too with toxic chemicals meant to make life easier, at the expense of our health and well-being.
This will be our first time camping together, so it is taking some organization and planning, along with openness to reclaim skills we've both had in abundance in our past. Please Spirits who watch over sensitive, sentient beings, help us both feel your presence, and find joy and delight in simple pleasures --maybe even some surprises-we have both been longing for. It is a good thing, to enjoy simple vacations close to home, that rekindle our spirits and warm our hearts as well. It's a blessing to still be able to travel safely with a companion who can give me helping hand when needed. I may have limitations I didn't have decades ago, but I still love the landscapes and seascapes that nurture the wild and free spirit within me! May we be open to the adventurous spirit that is still precious to both of us!
