Dogsledding

You can smell the eagerness in the air, they want to run, they need to run. The first sled releases its grip on the brake and it takes of. Going so fast it appears to be gliding. The dogs then pull forward despite the commands to stop, they know they are about to run. The sled in front of you departs and your dogs can’t take it anymore. They pull so hard the brake becomes useless. You decide to let go and you’re off gliding like a kite. You bellow words of encouragement to your dogs. They bark and keep running. Despite the chilled atmosphere a smile breaks loose and you laugh in excitement. He snow winds and guides you like a highway, except there is no signs. The path is clear. You feel responsible because you know the actions are your own. Everything you do is a reflection of yourself and this makes you push yourself. You develop teamwork, you develop rigor, you develop friendship, and you develop confidence. You hear the sounds of nature calling for a mate; you hear trees and bushes silently whining in the wind. The snow crunches under your feet. You feel like your living not drifting through life. You now know why you came; to connect not just with friends but yourself.
