Thankful








There isn't anything like it. The wonders of the north. Isolated lakes and forrest surroundings marked with outcrops of rock and sand. The skiffs (flat bottom boats of wood with a rising nose) meet speed and skim across the water. Cool breeze causing even the well dressed to shiver. It was on such a day in the far north of Saskatchewan that two friends took the psychologist fishing. It is a place where human quiet meets nature; the call of a baby eagle, the splash of nearby fish, and the rush of the rapids. It was the most sacred of moments. The ones we often take for granted. But today I am thankful. Thankful for laughter, warm drink, gentle breeze, fresh fish caught and ate, and the miracle of nature that reminds us that we are finite beings in a marvelous world.
