Every summer holiday our lake explodes with unnaturalness. Jet ski’s go whizzing by pontoon boats slowly cruise the shoreline and loud voices shout over the noise of the engine. I watch them from my Adirondack chair and I ask – don’t you see? Don’t you understand the Northwoods – there is silence and natural beauty in the Northwoods – you are missing it.
As each day begins I try and see the beauty and peace of the Northwoods. It sets the mood for the day. For example today I feel the air move rhythmically - I don’t want to disturb its energy. I want to absorb its energy – and its peace.
I choose to live in the peace and beauty of the Northwoods. Not every day is easy, but the early morning is always filled with a Northwoods quiet and I am so glad I am here to enjoy and absorb it.
