Morning Hike at Lynn Canyon

Saturday morning, I surprised my boyfriend by taking him to the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver. Sadly, this place gets waaay less traffic than the more famous Capilano Suspension Bridge. The Lower Seymour Conservation Center, located conveniently next to the bridge, keeps the park well groomed which allows people like us to venture in there. They also serve as an education center for teaching children just how fragile and important the ecosystem is. Bonus!

A Forest Symphony

{via}

There are some beautiful evergreen trees in my campus. Class ends early, and upon walking out of the building, I am swept by a cool breeze and bathed by the warmth of a spring sun.

It is different today. I hear something, something beautiful, and I wonder,
'Is it the ocean?'
'No, the closest distance to any shoreline is five kilometers.'
I look up. 'There, the wind and the tall trees swaying, they are singing.'
I listen close. The trees sing a song, "Stop. Listen. Breathe. Look at us, we are beautiful."
It is a forest symphony.

I stopped, I listened, I breathed, and I drank up all that I could. This is Nature's therapy and she soothed me to my bones, but I look down, and see that no one else has stopped.
I continue on my way. 'The trees will continue to sing, because some day, people will learn to listen.'
