When you set foot on a frozen lake in the morning with your snowshoes, you are already in prayer. When you are in a canoe on a lake or river, you are in prayer. Because you are well, connected to the earth, in a total state of appreciation and thanks to the creator. This sense of wholeness and unity comes from the fact that nature gives without restraint and without distinction to every component of the world. This is where we meet the spirit from which we came and with which we enter into union with the entire universe, married to nature, intertwined with it.
