A Journey Cross Country..............a journey through the senses
Since Soul's Journey has been such a wonderful part of my life, I thought I would share parts of the wonderful journey I am on right now. I have been given the opportunity to travel cross country with a friend in his transport truck. Some may think this a silly thing to do, but for me who loves to travel, what better way to see the country, and all the beauty that has been given to us.
The title came to me the first night of the trip, as all my senses were awaken to a new level. Eddie Mullens always says be aware of what your body is telling you, and I laugh when I think of this as you will see.
The first leg of the trip involved having the truck loaded in Toronto Ontario, which took longer than my eagerness to get going wanted , I just wanted to get on the road. We headed north out of Toronto, and while on route I did my radio show Spiritual Sparkles from the bunk of the truck. I have to say it was the most relaxing and laid back show I have done, Jody and I had a great talk on air while Mike drove us through a nasty storm. I was a little nervous about this, because upfront, he thinks I am strange for my spiritual work, but he was great about it.
We drove up past Sudbury that night, and pulled into a truck stop about 11. This is where the senses come into play. A run to the bathroom.......knowing that if I had to go again through the night, it would mean getting out of the truck and racing across the parking lot into the restroom. Thats right, that quick jont to the bathroom across the hall isn't an option for me right now.
Mike had explained to me that on older refer trucks the compressors are really loud, so he is always careful where he parks in the lots. Ok, this didn't exactly register with me the way he meant it. Here I was sitting in a brand new transport, I thought he was warning me of other trucks. Yes, I am blonde, just because the truck is new doesn't mean the trailer is. He went right to sleep, while I lay wide awake trying to put my senses to sleep.
Add to the sound of the compressor, the sound of reverse warnings on trucks pulling in at 3am, thats right they don't silence them at night....lol. Having been single for many years, the sound of another's breath coming from the other bunk was even strange to me. My sense of hearing was certainly wide awake, as was I all night.
When I heard Mike stir in the morning I commented that I couldn't wait for that noisy truck next to us to leave, to which he roared laughing at me. He said that was us. That is when I realized what he was explaining to me the night before. It turned out to be the joke of the day for him. Good I can provide him humor, and I laugh at myself.
No time to dally, he has a schedule to keep, off to the restroom to prepare for the day, and they really aren't that bad, just another thing we take for granted in our daily lives. Our morning started off with some real great music, mixed with great conversations and rolling up the highway through Northern Ontario. He is a huge Howard Stern fan, so we laughed away at Howard and his antics. It has been along time since I have spent a day laughing and singing away. A renewed sense of fun.
Northern Ontario has some of the most beautiful scenery I have seen, my sense of sight drank in all the beauty God has given us here to enjoy. There are so many lakes and streams, not to mention the amazing tapestry of colors of fall in the trees. I took so many pictures, and since Mike has driven this route so many times he always warned me when to have the camera ready and what side of the truck to look out. What a great tour guide. We drove through the Canadian Shield, a small mountain range, if you want scenic drama, take a drive through Northern Ontario. My sense of my connection with rocks was definitely peeked, I kept breathing in the beauty and being grateful for every moment.
Here we sit at a truck stop in Winnipeg Manitoba, the flat lands, and my sense of being cold it peeked....this part of the country is known for being cold, and it is proving itself to be true. Our adventure starts our very early tomorrow, in fact, Mike says I will be sleeping when he rolls out at 3............so nice of him really, but the thoughts of what am I going to do when I wake up and really have to pee........are a real sense of fear....lol......and thats a reality I will have to deal with..........asking the angels to wake me up when we are in the vicinity of a truck stop!!!!!!
As we roll along and can connect with the internet I will update our travels and adventures along the way. Until then, take care and enjoy the comforts of home while I completely enjoy my journey through the country and my senses.

I was chatting with Michael tonight and was telling him how incredibly beautiful Northern Ontario is ... this time of year with the flaming colors of trees/bushes ... and how stunning the lakes, streams are ...
