Medicine Lake, Jasper National Park, Alberta

This morning I am reminded that life is fragile. That every moment is a moment into which we must pour our entire heart and believe we are more than we know.
If not this moment … when?
Thanks for visiting,

One of my favourite places to visit is the Canadian Rockies. Its silence in the out-of-the-way places is truly medicine for the soul.

Maligne Lake, Alberta.
Late May.
A thin layer of ice coats the water.
A shroud of snow envelopes the mountains.
Electronic devices unresponsive.
Not a sound to be heard.
Absolute serenity.
Peace.

Canada is a delta of change, transition and growth. Over 150 years it has evolved as a confederation of provinces and territories welcoming people from all over the world to create the rich mixture of cultures, ideas, (mostly) tolerance and liberty it is today.
As always, I’m counting my blessings as a citizen of this beautiful land.

A forest fire initiated by a lightning strike at Medicine Lake near Jasper, Alberta in 2015 leaves a haunting reminder of nature’s fragility.

One of my favourite vacation spots is the Alberta Rockies. Whether Banff, Jasper or beyond I’m filled with the joy basking in the magnificence of nature’s skyscrapers can bestow.
A couple of years ago in late summer Lloyd and I visited Jasper National Park and stayed over night at the beautiful Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge.
During our stay we took the hour-long walk around Lake Mildred upon whose shore sits the Lodge and its scenic golf course. Around every bend of the lake lay a new wonder and in one marshy area we happened upon this heron lost in his own meditation. Rising dramatically in the background is majestic Pyramid Mountain.
The heron was difficult to see at first so well blended was he with his habitat, but once we had our sights on him we stopped and observed for a while as he calmly interacted with his environs.
Looking at this image reminds me of the serenity of that moment and the singular peace to be found among nature’s mountainous beauty. I’m not sure when I’m going back, but I do hope it’s soon.
