mushroom trip
My friends and I went on a camping trip once. The four of us (five including Choda dog) drove out to Peace River where we rented some canoes and rowed down the river, camping out at different spots every night. The entire trip was absolutely amazing. One day in particular however, will remain in my memory forever. I’ll never forget the beautiful images I saw and I how I felt. The day began just like any other. I woke up, stepped out of my tent, and observed all the beauty surrounding me. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the alligators were croaking, and the bugs were buzzing. You could still smell the citronella from the candles we lit to keep the bugs away the night before. Without saying a word, we all sat down and had our breakfast and drank our special tea. I looked around at everyone just then and I realized that it would be a day like no other. I could tell they understood it too as we all sat anxiously waiting for it to begin. The water was so calm that day. It looked as if we were drifting through a mirror. The trees were more colorful than ever before and with no help from the wind, they vibrated in the clear blue sky. The few existing clouds were glowing in all the colors of the rainbow. Everyth . . .
After collecting some fire wood we laid out a blanket and sat around a nice warm fire eating roasted marshmallows. After all, I was convinced that this was my perfect world so nothing would harm me. The alligator was there purely for my entertainment. At that point I decided that I wanted to take a closer look at everything surrounding me. After about six hours of drifting in bliss it began to get dark. I got to lie back on the soft pillows behind me as my friends in the other boat drifted from one side of the river to the next making beautiful patterns in the water. There were deer off in a field eating grass and I could see the glowing eyes of racoons in the bushes. I saw an alligator slide into the water just then but I did not think to raise my feet from the water. My friends played a very important part in this perfect world. I pictured myself sliding in the water like an alligator, taking the plants by the hand, and waltzing with them to the beautiful melody that continued in my head even louder still. I then saw an armadillo run past me and I raced to take a picture of it. I was suddenly overcome by an overwhelming sense of euphoria. All you could hear were the songlike sounds of nature.
