At 9:21 AM the sun appeared to be right above the equator. The equinox signals that fall has officially arrived in the Northern Hemisphere. We paddled up the Kawishiwi River 366 days ago to bear witness through every season as the Earth completed its annual pilgrimage around our sun. We find ourselves on the Kawishiwi River once again, but now we're about to paddle out of the Wilderness. The Wilderness has remained largely the same as it was a year ago, changing leaves, crisp and foggy fall mornings, loons' elegant summer plummage fading, moose rutting– all like a clock tuned to the Earth's rythms. A year is a blink of an eye for the Wilderness, but for us this year has been transformative.
We have been forever changed by the Wilderness and will leave it knowing that we must speak loudly for this quite place, and that our collected voices have the power to effect change, ensuring that wild places like the Boundary Waters remain for future generations. After all, Wilderness belongs to all of us, those living now and generations from now.
We must all keep the Wilderness in our hearts and minds and continue to act. Please visit www.SaveTheBoundaryWaters.org to learn more, sign the petition, and take action today. #wilderness #savetheBWCA #BoundaryWaters #BWCA #onlyinMN #CaptureMN #getoutstayout #canoe #ourwild
