Anxiety For Nothing
written by: Glen McKenzie
@justabitfurther
It starts slowly
Like a train departing the station
Imperceptible at first
Its weight provides momentum
Why pull away?
Building speed is so unnecessary
Imperceptible at first
Anxiety drives the locomotive
Why is this?
The pain of self-swirling emotions
Imperceptible at first
Energy wasted on nothing
Anxiety marches forward
All so freaking unnecessary it seems
Imperceptible at first
It darkens the light
Why does it?
Make light seem dark and foreboding
Anxiety has no place
The light must shine

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.
