I am sitting on a dock in Sault Ste. Marie at Martin and Sue's camp. John, Andrea and Nick are walking through the forest, finding a good spot to dive into the lake. I've got a cold, but the fresh air and the warm sun are helping. We started our month-long road trip two days ago (which actually could have been yesterday, now that the days seem like weeks again).
I do know that the first night it rained, and I realized, for the first time, that I'm scared of the sound of rain hitting the tent. I'm sure there will be other discoveries like this along the way. For now I'm rediscovering what it feels like to be in my element - experiencing.
