Day 2 Night Canoeing

Story of the ghost trees

The trees have been banished by human nature, little did we know that we are floating through a sacred stretch of water. Intense energy of sadness, disappointment and sorrow is apparent in the air and I am beginning to feel all of those emotions within myself. The silence of the night, the pure darkness, the gloomy air and the endless sky creates a world of stillness and mourning. The trees are like a village that has been frozen in time and each and every one of them symbolises an effect of the event. It was as though the trees had their own face, sad, crying, disappointed, grieving, devastated and anguished. These all describe their expressions. It is as though they want those who visit them to remember the torment that they encountered. As we left I gained a feeling as though they were sad that we were leaving them but as a sign of respect pass their existence on to those who we know so that they will never be forgotten.

such an inforgettable experince you cannot capture the entirety of the experince unless you are there, but i have shared the story with countless people.
