57 - Expédition Évasion Automne 2019 Réservoir Poisson Blanc, QC - Jour 4

You’ve got bright in your brains, you can break through those chains, you’ll go higher then we’ve ever gone. Just turn in on.

Someone special
Cold Play, 2015

It is because you are special beings that you can realize your dreams without any limitation. The challenge of the last days will certainly have weighed in the balance of will and strength for all of us. With willingness everything is possible, but still, even when we don’t really want and push ourselves to do it, we reach the finish line!

This morning everyone got up again with a smile. Despite the aches and fatigue. Despite life. This is a trait that all the facilitators have noticed in the group: resilience and the ability to keep smiling in a challenging situation. What an incredible life lesson. Thank you. And above all, don’t stop distributing happiness as you have done in the last 4 days.

This is the last time we have breakfast together before the end of the trip. Nothing keeps us from recreating such an event among us, and besides, plans are already forming! E-mail addresses and Facebook pages are shared! We won’t let go so easily, now that we know that we make each other feel good!

After bagels and fruits, we still have to put away all the equipment, fold up the tents, and all the material, then carry it to the top of the “darned” hill! (We went up and down the many hills during these 4 days!) Then we must board our rabaska canoes, always in two groups: the participants on one side and the facilitators on the other. But this time, it’s the race to know who will arrive first at the beach of the refuge!

It must be known that we have determined, after long philosophical discussions, what is most important in life. Yes, take note friends, family, because we are great wise people. Here is the result of our reflections: The important thing in life is to be beautiful and win!

And pow! Knocks you off, eh?! It’s really thought out and it comes from our heart. ????
To return to the serious things, it is obvious that the team of facilitators would never let the participants win. And we beat them by a short distance, but they lost anyway!

Once arrived at the Air Eau Bois outdoors base, we look at the Poisson Blanc Reservoir with the feeling of leaving a little of us, but also to leave with a small piece of the wonderful island. Nature is a therapy in itself. It recharges the batteries, even if the exercise was demanding. It is the moral battery that is fully loaded.

Inevitably, you have to leave, but nothing prevents you from coming back. And next time, we will be even stronger, even happier, even more beautiful and winners!
