Fendre les flots

Les jours s’enchaînent, les mois défilent, les saisons s’écoulent comme un puissant cours d’eau qu’aucun barrage pandémique ni écluse virale ne puisse dévier du formidable cours de la vie.

Pourquoi lutter lorsque notre embarcation chavire dans le fort courant, alors qu’il suffit de se laisser bercer par les rapides pour mieux atteindre la berge quelques mètres plus bas ?

« Les bras croisés et les pieds en avant pour encaisser le choc des obstacles ! » me criait au-dessus du chaos des vagues mon instructeur de rafting lorsque je suis passée par-dessus bord sur la trépidante rivière Rouge. Et si on adoptait cette position de sécurité – et de résilience – face aux embûches, certes parfois nombreuses et interminables, que le destin nous garroche sur le torrent de l’existence.

La vie n’est pas un long fleuve tranquille et c’est peut-être aussi bien comme ça ! Il en faut des remous pour apprendre à maîtriser son canot. Il en faut des rapides pour apprendre à garder son sang-froid lorsqu’on doit esquimauter. Il en faut des marées pour apprendre à composer avec le rythme inébranlable de mère Nature et partir en kayak contre le ressac.

Dans cette édition été/automne de Vie en montagne, des hommes et des femmes nous montrent comment ils naviguent, chacun à leur manière, sur les flots de l’aventure. Partout au Canada, cette terre tapissée de rus, de ruisseaux, de lacs, de rivières et de fleuves, des explorateurs des temps modernes prennent le pouls de leur territoire en kayak de mer, en canot, en plongée en apnée ou encore à la nage afin de s’assurer que ce fichu virus n’atteindra jamais le cœur de l’aventure.

– Frédérique Sauvée, rédactrice en chef


Riding Life’s Waves

The days drag on, the months go by, and the seasons flow like a mighty river that no pandemic dam can divert from life’s formidable course. Why struggle to stay afloat if your boat capsizes in the strong current when all you have to do is trust that the rapids will bring you safely to shore?

“Arms crossed and feet forward to take the brunt of the obstacles!” my rafting instructor shouted over the chaos of the waves as I went overboard into the turbulent Red River. What if we took this same resilient attitude when facing the numerous obstacles that destiny throws at us in the torrent of existence?

Life isn’t a long quiet river, and maybe it’s just as well! You have to battle the current to learn how to control your canoe. You need to go over rapids to learn how to stay calm when things get turned upside down. You must face the changing tides to learn how to deal with the unrelenting rhythm of Mother Nature. You need to kayak against the riptide.

In this summer/fall issue of Vie en montagne, inspiring men and women show us their own unique ways of navigating the waves of adventure. Across Canada, a land of streams, lakes, rivers and creeks, modern-day explorers are re-connecting with nature by kayaking, canoeing, freediving and swimming to ensure this damned virus never dulls their sense of adventure.

    C’est vrai! La pandemie n’arrete pas mon sens d’aventure. (J’espoir que j’ecris le bon francais, je suis un anglo qui apprend le francais parce que j’aime camping au Quebec! Donc j’aime le journal bilangue!)
