I want to be near the water again

I havent canoed for a year and a half and that was just near home . I yearn to take the big aluminum monster and ride it on the river til my arms are tired and my back aches and when i get to the place where my head will rest , i take my clothes off on the shore and the river water washes over me and every night its another baptism. Then sleeping and hearing the wind thru the pines, a whistle that sounds all the world like the holy ghost . River food too , thick stew and pasta for dinner and peanut butter/cheese for lunch and oatmeal for breakfast and that coffee like an oil slick . If you are lucky the water is so clear you get to fish

And everything you see, the odd owl, the flocks of geese, pelicans, finches

sometimes if you are in the right place you get to the lilly clogged pond and you really become a lily dipper.

i want to go toLa Ronge not London . I want vespers round the campfire.

i want the warmth of a lover under a sleeping bag looking at the stars , i want to be frightened by a lightening storm

I want to keep in rytyhm with land of the silver birch

see thats where i wanna be

Next to a gently flowing stream with a piece of straw hanging out of my mouth, quietly slipping in and out of sleep. That river above looks a bit hectic.

Count me in that looks so stunningly beautiful. And if its the land of the silver birch we can have a large one match fire and roast things on it.

I would like to be on a bike.

Actually all week I've been thinking about renting a boat and going down the Shannon RIVER with some friends. You get these cool big cruisers and all the villages along the way have good pubs and nice cheap restaurants.......

If the weathers nice you laze around and have beer and lie on the roof of the boat doing nothing all day.

If it's shit weather you have a crap holiday.
