Until it’s just you…
A beautiful poem by Canadian spoken word artist Shane Koyczan about the wild within British Columbia, Canada
[Destination British Columbia]
It’s just the ocean.
Until you are pulling your dinner out of it.
Until you see first-hand everything that lives in it.
Until you feel the push and pull of a thing so vast…
It is untameable.
It’s just a tree.
Until you see someone release the art trapped inside it.
Until you need shade from the sun or reprieve from the rain.
Until the night steals the warmth in you blood and a cedar sacrifices his its own flesh to give you fire.
It’s just a mountain.
Until you are standing at the bottom of it.
Face to face with it.
Until you take your first step to the top of it.
Until you reach the summit and stand eye level with the setting sun
It’s just a sky.
Until the stars poke holes in the darkness.
Until the wind pushes its howl through the open air with a wildness so blatant.
It sounds like a song you must dance to.
And it all looks…
So tame.
Until you there surrounded by no one.
Until water, earth, fire and air rewind you to a time you once knew.
Until the world feels massive again.
Until it’s just you…
Let the river and the roads take you to the unknown

[Destination British Columbia]
“When I pause Listen I hear it
The Calling A beacon to return to a place And myself British Columbia
To be amongst the elements The purest water and air
Fertile abundance
A natural richness that overtime has quietly becomes the true currency of life
And this place is the kingdom of abundance
A land of giants British Columbia forces you to rethink life’s measures
What is big? What is power? What is important?
The supreme nature Super Natural
The thread that connects us all is undeniable in this place that the aboriginal peoples have honored for millennia
Massive groves Standing giants fed by the climate and circle of life
Altitude swings that take you from sea to sky
From rainforest to dessert to snow-capped peaks.
This is the place where wildlife thrives
All in the court of her majesty mother nature
She chose this place to erect her monuments
Masterpieces forever in the making constant and changing
A dichotomy that reflects our refined civilization and raw wilderness
It’s the rush of standing on the edge of the world
The deafening quiet of a mystical morning
The exhilaration of British Columbia that reminds you of what it feels like to be alive
To find the wild within Super natural British Columbia ”
