NAPHO

There are moments which are worth a thousand years.

That early morning hike on the Bruce Peninsula,

with a long moment of pure undisturbed nature enjoyment on the shore of Georgian Bay

was one of those.

"As I sat there on the rock I realized that, in spite of the closeness of civilization and the change that hemmed it in, this remnant of the old wilderness would speak to me of silence and solitude, of belonging and wonder and beauty. Though the point was only a small part of the vastness reaching far to the arctic, from it I could survey the whole. While it would be mine for only a short time, this glaciated shore with its twisted trees and caribou moss would grow into my life and into the lives of all who shared it with me."
