Somewhere only we know.

Being outside is one of the most relaxing and peaceful things I can think of. I don't have to be doing anything particular, breathing in the fresh morning air or going on a long walk, it doesn't matter so long as I'm outside. There is so much to look at, the sights and the sounds; it can seem surreal at times.

One of the best weekends I've ever had was last year during Hallowe'en. I spent it with my best friend, Isabel, in the middle of nowhere. We walked one of the Fundy National Park trails and I spent a lot of time with my camera. We also had waffles, or rather I had waffles and Isabel had something that wasn't waffles, and they were delicious. It was an amazing weekend filled with joy and peace and I sincerely hope that I can experience another weekend outdoors like that.

I'd love to try some outdoor meditation this year. I think it would be a wonderful practice but also an experience as well. There are a lot more things to distract you in the outdoors than there are in the comfort of your own home. I think I might try it out tomorrow. This is going to be fun.
