Skiing in a forest * or paddling a canoe in the summer

 I haven't skied during the last few years, but as younger I liked to walk in a forest and watch the beauty of nature. So when skiing in the winter on ready made skiing tracks, we looked at the beauty of snowy trees etc, and so it was natural if it did not disturb the landscape, to ski a short while on some beautiful spot that felt like inviting to ski and experience the feel of slight small hills under skiis, the feel of passing near some snovy tree, just looking around, maybe feeling the sunshine, a few meters this way and that way and then back to the tracks. It felt like some original touch of the nature, but if there were earluer tracks too one ought to have tried them, since otherwise the new track spoil the untouched beauty of a winter forest. 


A similar experience possible in the summer or where it is warm, is paddling on a canoe where there is beautiful nature, and trying on one's own for a short while different ways of canoeing near the beauty of the shore, against the wind or sun or at different angles, trying sportily or leisurely, watching the beauty of waves, thinking of healthy natural life. I guess just a half a minute each one on one's own every now and then, each one like feels good and interesting to try. 

26th of December 2023   If one wants to enjoy wandering in the nature and learn skills from it, the coldest climate isn't the best for it and as far as I know there are problems with warm and hot climares too. The climate should be such that itallows living fully each moment and so getting the most out of the experience. But the coldest weathers are such that one tends to think Outs! between well experienced pieces of time, be it seconds or minutes. One ought to be tuned to just the weather that one is in, and see it as a part of the seasons there, likewise like the nature around and have some idea of what types of nature are typical to the climate, area and country, kind of the old times mood of life there, what it is from the point of view of feelings according to the skills typical to such spectrum of nature, to it's atmosphere of old times' heroes.
