When I looked at this picture I took a few years ago I had to chuckle. There is a similar chair in the same spot today, covered with the same amount of snow, perhaps a little more rickety. This is the part of our property we call "the point" and in turn, the name of my soap and body product business "The Point Naturals". What a magical spot this is! This is where Beaver Creek comes out to converge (hence the name of my other business) with Crowe River. The spirit of this area is strong and determined, kind and forgiving. I like to journey to this area from time to time to "connect" and to touch base to see if there is anything we should be doing to ensure this spot is always protected. My answer is always the same. "I've got this". Lionel and I do our best to create a stable environment for this beautiful spot. Protecting the banks with rock, allowing the banks to naturalize with native plants, trees and we don't cut the grass right to the edges. It's a slightly fragile area, surrounded by a sandy river bottom and experiences a lot of wave action from motorized watercraft in the warmer months. We are thankful for "the bay" on the Beaver Creek side as it is a huge source of natural habitat for fish, waterfowl, frogs, turtles, otters, mink, beaver, muskrats, herons, dragonflies, water lilies, reeds, rushes and hundreds of other goodies. Learning the Shamanic Journey is an exceptional way to connect with our living environment and the spirits of these areas.
