Abol Stream

I camped in Ktaadn for two nights. Rained out of the third night. During my sojourn I filtered water from the Abol Stream just steps from my site.

Drinking straight from a water source is an incredible experience. Water symbolizing growth, change, and transformation, yet also an element we cannot live without. I contemplated this when I sat there filtering water for nourishment. Nourishment in more ways than one. It has been a very transformative year for me. So many changes, experiences, emotional tides. Demons to conquer and let be. I wanted to stay in the Maine Woods longer it was quite a spiritual place.  The forest is so silent, it's loud, my ears ring. I could hear my sister's laughter in the wind and feel her silent demeanor sitting by this stream.
