Spirit Bear

The Kermode Bear, one of British Columbia's secret wonders. Next summer I am going to take my vacation and go see these bears. I have always loved bears and Polar Bears are my favourite but having mini Polar Bears in my own back yard makes it a shame that I haven't gone to see them yet. But it is on my list now and next summer I will trek through The Great Bear Rainforest on my quest to find this beautiful creature. I know I won't have to try and convince my sister to come on this trip with me. She will be just as excited for it as I am. So come sumer of 2012 I will be on a mission to encounter a Spirit Bear.

 They say money makes the world go round. Sure scientifically speaking we all know this isn't true but it's hard to think that it isn't somehow a little true. Maybe it doesn't make the world go around but it does make the people on the world run. It is the measure to which we all relate success. The more money you have the more power you have and the human race is driven by the need for power. So we all want money to bring us power. Most of us toil away at our jobs earning barely enough to make ends meet. Nothing comes for free in this life so we work ourselves day and night trying to get enough to have the life we always dreamed of. You have to ask yourself if you are willing to do anything for money?

Into the abyss

A flimsy old rope bride strung high up in the canopy of the forest. A bridge that as you look out across it you aren't fully able to see what's awaiting you on the other side. As you take your first step out onto the bridge you feel it sway under your foot and you begin to feel uncertain. The thought that maybe this isn't a good idea shoots through your head. Your heart begins to race as your hands become sweaty. You feel a knot in your stomach. You take one more step and the bridge begins to sway again. You feel like you are about to lose your balance but you quickly regain your composure. You take a glance over your shoulder back to the safety in which you just left. You think about turning back, but your curiosity gets the best of you. As you slowly inch your way forward you begin to feel the cool mist that surrounds you as it settles on your face. You begin to be engulfed by this new world as you slowly move forward. You catch yourself looking down unable to see the forest floor through the thick foliage and it brings an eerie sense of calm to you. The smell of last nights rain fall lingers in your nose and the sounds of birds in the distance ring through your ears. The rope scratches at your hands as you make your way along the bridge. With only a few steps to go you begin to feel at ease in your new surroundings. All your trepidations turn to excitement as your eyes gaze upon your destination.
