I like those nature stories you have any more? I do. I got another one. Okay, so this one, this one was from 2015. And so, in 2015, I was hitting a pretty low point in life, you know, my healing practice wasn't going that great. I struggle with finances and I was kind of in a really low spot.

And so a friend of mine wanted to go on this backpacking trip to Glacier National Park up into the northwest corner of the park. And I said, Sure, let's go you know, as long as some look forward to and so when we get there, which is something never happens on an outdoor trip. I'm really depressed. I'm going into this trip really depressed and I can't really shake it and, and, you know, as bombed as and so we get up to this lake called Kyla lake. It's a very northwest corner of the park and there's a campground You can camp overnight. And so we're going to stay there the first night, then we're going to take off the next four days.

And so I didn't really want to hang around with my friend because I felt like I was a real downer. And so I took off that late afternoon, and I started walking down kentley Creek, which is the outlet from the lake. There's no trail or anything. And so I'm just kind of in my flip flops and are in my sandals and shorts and waiting down the creek. Kind of, you know, wondering how I'm going to get out of this funk that I'm in Yeah, so So as I'm walking down ankle deep in the creek, I hear something rustling in the in the brush and I'm you know, first thing you think of I'm glad you're here. That's a bad answer.

It's a giant grizzly bear that's gonna eat me here man. Man I hear hear this thing rustle in the bushes and hops up on this log is a squirrel. So the squirrel runs up this log which is maybe I don't know 10 yards off the creek and runs up to Southern log And then it runs up on this other snag that's hanging over the creek about 10 yards in front of me. Okay? And so the squirrel stops and looks at me, maybe 10 yards away, it's maybe 10 feet high and starts chattering like crazy. You know, it's like, give me golf, you know?

And so I look at says, Can you help take the sadness from me? I said it out loud to the squirrel. And I said, I'm really struggling here. Can you help me? So the squirrel turns around, runs back down the log runs down. The other log is parallel to the creek hops on this other log.

That is like, ends up right next to me. It runs up this log. It's like, you know this. I could touch the squirrel. And then it jumps on me. I couldn't believe it.

I go, Hey, what are you doing? And then it jumps off and ran away and I just started laughing. I just started laughing like crazy. I couldn't hold it in and so So yeah, I was like, that's like a totally remarkable moment. You know? And so the next day we take off for our hike.

You know, here I am, I'm floundering, I'm looking for direction in life and the squirrel comes and jumps on me, you know. And so we take off on our hike the next day. And it was really smoky. It was so smoky you could barely see across the lake. And then the next day, we are going to do some elevation about 3000 feet, we're going to hike at this camp, this place called boulder path. And as we're hiking up to Boulder past, the weather moves in, and so the temperature drops about 30 degrees.

We get up this boulder path clouds move in, and it starts snowing, you know, and so the only thing and this is August, you know, yeah. So we get our tents, you know, put up as quick as we can eat something really quick and just like, you know, sit in our tents all night. You know, like 12 hours in your tent. And then you look at and then we looked at the next morning and there's like three inches of snow. everywhere, but the wind blew through. And it clear out smoke.

So this is like very symbolic all of a sudden, so I'm free of this depression, and the skies are now clear, and the white snow but not for long, not for long because it warmed up that day to probably 70 degrees again, the snow was gone in a couple hours. And then we continued on to our trip. And so it's like I had k the squirrels gonna help me all this anks gets blown out by the wind in the snow. And then we had a great trip and then I went back home. And then the next week, so this is the kind of the cause and effect thing. So glacier did this big energy healing on me.

Now I'm going back home to see and I wasn't really paying attention to anything. But later that week, I went kayaking, and we're doing laps on the toenail. I found a crowd out in the river, get out, get out of here. And so this crawdad was tangled up in this fishing line. I let it go and I believe you are the one said that would make him Really great children's story. And so that was like the first of 30 children's books that was right.

All ended up working out. It ended up working out
