A Breath of Life

---

It is extremely difficult to describe the beauty of the mountains. As we drive down the highway from Jasper to Lake Louise, the massive mountains stand all around us, with clouds softly resting on the peaks, light snow freshly sprinkled on the mountain top and wild animals watching us drive by. I’ve been taking so many pictures; everything here is worth a picture, but none of them completely capture the greatness, wilderness and wonder of this nature.

It feels great to be out here, although Calgary and Edmonton were great. We were spoiled little brats in Calgary with grandma Perkins making us delicious dinners and deserts, the best cream puffs in the world and the classic café au lait. But it sure feels good to just take a deep breath up in these mountains and listen.

Je suis vraiment fascinée par cette nature qui nous entoure. D’une part c’est d’une simplicité extraordinaire, je me sens bien, je n’ai pas à comprendre, à poser de questions ou à douter. D’une autre part, sa grandeur est tellement exceptionnelle, les couleurs, les contrastes, les formes, les odeurs, les mouvements, la force, la douceur.

I’m so grateful for everything and everyone in my life. It’s because of our life experiences, challenges, and the people around us who’ve influenced us, that today we are doing this wonderful trip. I’m still having difficulty believing that this is only the beginning.

Now back to work, even nomads have obligations.
