My last outside text comes from a PBS article about a former atheist who had a religious experience while skiing and how he now takes people out into the wild so they may try to experience the same thing he did. It started when the man was on a frozen lake cross country skiing and it was getting dark. He looked up and saw black trees etched against a purple sky. He held his arms out and felt a warmth come over him that said “it’s God.” Now he takes people out into the wilderness to that they can live in the moment and feel God’s presence. Out of the four hundred people he had taken at the time, only one person hadn’t felt anything the entire trip.
