Neil Young. "Helpless." Greatest Hits, Reprise Records, 2004.
We all have our Up North. This song encapsulates so many of the feelings I have for the woods, the rocks, the lakes, summertime in the Muskokas, Georgian Bay, Algonquin Park, and the multitude of breathtaking spots we are incredibly fortunate to have in Ontario. Listening to Neil Young on the drive south down Highway 11 on the the Northland bus with a window seat and feeling blessed was such a transformative and grounding way to begin this internal journey home. Even when home can feel so very far away. Je me souviens.
