I always feel so incredibly alive after a back country ski experience!Grant Soosaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926109399246162045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601498033460501328.post-15471697159105488802009-08-19T04:40:37.806+10:002009-08-19T04:40:37.806+10:00Oh, you know I've got to weigh in on this one....Oh, you know I've got to weigh in on this one. Beauty, motion, physical interaction -- for sure, all big plusses. Think I would add silence to that list. Big SILENCE. Loud SILENCE. It's almost a precursor to auto-hypnosis, if you get into insulated isolation in the backcountry. And, of course, the introspection and rhythmical physical interaction that comes with that is very restoring and a provider of perspective. Also, I think magnitude can be part of it: that sense that walls are removed and one is part of the community of the universe instead of some narrow subset. Moreover, the macrocosm of that community is so intricately woven by definition with all things that one feels a sense of destination and rightness. Very enhancing, indeed.<br /><br />Thanks, Grant...<br /><br />SullyThomas Sullivanhttp://www.thomassullivanauthor.comnoreply@blogger.com
