Our Kayak

Our Kayak

The mist settles on Mew Lake, as the early morning light filters through distant pines in diamond shimmer. Our paddle blades touch placid waters in balanced unison, briefly marking our trail in radiating ripples. Our passenger watches with trusting glances, that signal his acceptance of unique surrounds. At the end of the day our vessel lies still, but will glide again on Pog, Kiosk, or Opeongo, if the winds are in our favour. We pray for gentle skies and rested limbs, for we are truly at peace when we are quietly paddling in our kayak.

    Ancient Voices

    The Great Canadian Shield not only anchors us to the original inhabitants of this vast country, but it acts as the geological glue that binds all of Canada together. We stand as one on a firm foundation, following the example of the Maple, Pine, Birch, and Sumac, as we celebrate our diversity in varied colours, shapes, strengths, and purpose. Be diligent and shield our natural heritage and traditions from all who claim to make sound environmental decisions on our behalf. Speak out with your heart. Speak out with your soul. Listen to the ancient voices.

    Secrets of the Wetlands

    Look below the surface and discover a world unknown to those who pass by in haste. Skimming over life’s tapestry rewards few, but searching and opening oneself to self-discovery and endless possibilities enrich the souls of those who dare to challenge expected norms.  Seek what moves below still waters, and discover the networks and catacombs that past generations have entrusted to us.  Protect the creatures who inhabit these dark and mysterious pools from those who see them only as wastelands to be drained for profit.  Truly open your senses to the secrets of the wetlands.

  • Isolation

    Isolation

    Resist the temptation and directives to place nation and self before others. Search out the glowing light in others, and lift it up for all to see.  The land takes its rest from sunbaked skies, and blankets itself in quilts of white and crystal shimmer.  Be open to others and embrace the changes they also bring to our lives. We are of one family on this planet, and will only dance with the joy of acceptance when we resist the move towards isolation.

    Approaching Algonquin

    When approaching Algonquin, the quiet hush of nature begins its descent upon me. I feel the ever increasing distance from stress, noise, pavement and concrete. The layers of life’s hectic pace are replaced by nature’s serenity as I approach Algonquin.
