Week Eleven: Catching Kayak in the Wild


Today my soul was caught by Don Troyer's reflections on Listening to our Dreams.

Here is a nugget. Don continued the line of thought from last week -- the invitation to finding God in "the wild."

“In God’s wilderness lies the hope of the world – the great fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness. The galling harness of civilization drops off, and the wounds heal ere we are aware.”
-John Muir


Don added: The natural world provides this outer and healing wildness. The inner world of the dream is equally as wild and equally as healing. (Nina's paraphrase of Don...)

Today my eye was caught by this man in his kayak on the St. Joe River just outside of Bristol. Wow! This is dedication to the wild! And joy!

Will my sabbatical dreams also be such an adventure?
