a break from the noise.
I’ve been looking forward to this trip for a long time. All winter in fact. If you read my previous blog, you will know that we were actually gathering gear in February, (at 20 below.)
The bustle of home renovations, classes, new blogs, ideas, and businesses, was due for a rest. Post-trip I feel calmer; physically tired, but more quiet. Its like every hour I am outside, the voices of my mind fall away, one by one. In the spaces that open up between, I search for some little secrets of reality. I search for some little truths to share with you all. And let those truths mold my life and guide me when I am back, and the noise is too great to remember.
So.
What do I have to share with you? Another list of things not to forget on your trip? A description of a new place to go? Problems with babies and too much sun? How to relax while getting prepared? The cultural implications of camping and RV’s? Where are all the African campers from Brooks? Campfire recipes? Sustainable, creative Camping ideas?
Yes, yes, the lists go on. I am not sure as these are all things I thought about, and wanted to share. But right now, I have the urge to simply remind myself of the quiet I almost attained and the simple joy I now feel.
