A Winter Night
written by: Glen McKenzie

Painful cold of a winter night
Stabbing deeply into our inner being
Chilling our soul to its core
Darkness alone frightens us
But this cold is different
There’s an evilness to this cold
A depravity that is cold and calculating
Exacting revenge on all that is good
We sit shivering in a solitary vacuum
Praying for daybreak
Waiting for warmth and joy that only comes
When the painful cold on a winter night
Is chased by the renewal of a spring morn
As light casts out darkness
And warmth casts out cold
Such as day casts out the night
Justice and morality to cast out depravity and evil
It has to – It must

Hiking, canoe tripping as well as other outdoor adventure activities, can be seen as a metaphor for living. Both are journey’s filled with scores of good and not so good steps. Highs and lows; successes and failures.
Over the years, have realized that spending time in the outdoors pursuing whatever type of outdoor activity you choose opens up a wonderful and life-changing array of lessons on living and ourselves if, we are willing to stop, observe and listen.
