The Value of Going Camping.

I am not really an avid outdoors person, but I do value Nature in its many forms: the human contoured backyard gardens that my wife and I have created for our own daily enjoyment, the common spaces further afield such as Provincial Parks where we can all have access to places and geography that are not in our own backyards, and the great spaces set aside by Federal governments for the enjoyment and good of us all on grander scales preserved by visionaries who also appreciated what Nature can bring to the health and enjoyment of all of us.

Although we have daily access to the space we have in our own backyard, and it is a space of calm and beauty for our spirits and minds, there is something worthwhile in the process of planning and managing a camping excursion. Each summer we have planned and enjoyed several excursions to our Provincial Parks in Ontario. Our first forays were to pretty civilized campgrounds with a lot of amenities. It was a good start for us as we learned what we needed to manage a few days away from the comforts of home. We became a little bolder last year and went to a site that was a little more off the beaten path of mainstream campers. We even tried a trek into the wilderness, to see what it might be like to venture even farther into Nature. This year, we returned to a Park with more amenities ;)

When being left alone is a good thing

Updated: Jan 15, 2019

Jan 30/18

Alone time* is important for the development of children and their autonomy. It is also a bit of a sanity break for adults whose jobs may involve a lot of socializing. Time away from others, to sit, to be quiet, to think, or to go into a non-thinking moment of repose, may be what we need, from time to time, to ground ourselves and to re-tune* our being. It is also a time to let imagination and creativity out for a romp. There is no telling where that process will lead :)

* Note: found these to be of interest this morning - The first is about the value of alone time, and the second is just a curious exploration of the human body and resonating frequencies.
