Deafening Silence
WARNING: Some readers may find the following to be very obscure and/or obfuscated. Those with little or no creativity in their souls may wish to pass over this post and read something about how to make more money.
When was the last time you got out of the city and found some wilderness (whatever that may look like for you...RV with full satellite, campground with showers and toilets, or naked in a lean-to with some minty dental floss and a plastic spoon (that's right, not a spork, but a spoon!))? I was in Willmore (just north of Jasper) this past weekend and spent some much needed time laying by a river, doing nothing. I was struck by the sound of the silence. Even with the sounds of the river rushing beside me, birds singing, and the wind there was an undercurrent of pure silence. This is something you just can't find in the city or even in small towns. If you haven't taken time to get out and listen to the silence I suggest you drop what you're doing right now and go!

Daaaaamn you, your rivendell-wilmore ent forest, your lightfooted magical wilderness teasings...
OK, forget it, I'm over it.
DAAAAMNN YOU!
If there is one thing asia has tuahgt me, it is that spoons are the most practical of eatery instruments. I nearly beleive they are more handy than towels. And you know how I feel about towels.
I`ve also learned to spell here, apparently.
I went. I saw. I listened. I couldn't find the t-shirt!
ahh yes the sound of silence, music for the soul
we're in canmore right now, visiting with family,
that whole lying down by the river (or under a tree) is the right stuff alright
