Close your eyes and take a deep breath, feeling the cool, salty breeze fill your lungs. Imagine the magic of a whale as you see a puff, a cloud of mist rising from the ocean surface, signaling her presence to you. Her immense body rises gracefully, and her tail lifts high above the water just before she dives back into the deep blue, leaving gentle ripples that merge seamlessly with the rhythmic ebb and flow of the sea. As you witness this magnificent moment, you are reminded of the magic that exists in every corner of nature. – https://www.irewild.com/podcasts

Witnessing the majestic beauty of the Fjords du Saguenay, I felt deeply inspired to write:

Where Souls Roam Free©

In a land where dreams awaken with the dawn,
Where whispers of the past and present are drawn,
I wander through a realm where hearts are free,
A place where nature's spirit calls to me.

Where fjord mountains drop from the sky and meet the waters,
A sanctuary where nature's heartbeat falters,
In reverence, all kinds of whales gather,
Honored, sacred, they swim together, free from any tether.

Fog rises from the rivers, a whispering shroud,
Sweeping across the fjords, a soft, silent crowd,
I yearn for this mist to live inside me forever,
A bond unbroken, unyielding, to sever.

After the rains, clouds kiss the mountains high,
A tender embrace between earth and sky,
Seals rest on rocky shores, serene and still,
A tranquil moment, nature's quiet thrill.

The mountains descend, their embrace unbroken,
To meet the waters, where life's words are spoken,
Foxes, deer, seals, and more find no fear,
In the presence of humans, they draw near.

This is where my heart finds its peace,
A world where love and nature never cease,
In this place, my spirit forever roams,
Among fjord mountains, my soul finds its home.

Imagine yourself by the ocean, where waves whisper to the shore. Inhale the cool, salty air, feeling it weave calm into your soul. Exhale, releasing worries to the rhythm of the sea.
Now picture yourself floating on the water, weightless and free. The ocean cradles you, its currents intertwining with the breath of all creation, linking you to the heartbeat of the earth. Every wave, every ripple, echoes the pulse of life, from the tiniest sea creatures to the vast forests beyond.

Let our hearts open to the beauty that surrounds,
And our dedication remain steadfast and sound.
In reverence for all life that abounds.

Thank you, dear Earth, for your strength and infinite blessings.
