Afternoon Resignation to thoughts not of my control A guitar Instrumental
by Mark Schiemann

I actually wrote this song many years ago, but it's living in the Cariboo that's helped me understand it.
I used to be a fairly high stress individual that took a lot of things in my life far to seriously. Getting myself to a place where I could just relax and let my mind wonder was a lot rarer back then.
Now the Cariboo inspires me to find that place on a regular basis, to relax and let thoughts float in and out of my head, leaving my stress and worries some where else, at least temporarily.
Anyway, all that got me to give this song another try and I'm pleased with how it's turned out. I know I didn't play this song perfectly, and in the past that would have kept me from posting it.
Sometimes you have to get further away to see things clearer.

I hope you enjoy it.

Located in Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada.

The Cariboo is a spectacular region located in British Columbia, Canada.
It covers an area of 131,286 square kilometers and has a population of 66,291 as of 20230701.That is approximately 1.9 square kilometers per person.
It's incredibly varied terrain and ecosystems are home to a myriad of wildlife, including many favorites like Bear, Deer and Moose. Eagles and Hawks are also a common sight.
When combined with it's sister region the Chilcotin, as the two areas are connected both physically and historically, you have one of the most beautiful regions on the entire planet.
Reaching from the Shores of the Pacific to an elevation of 3,516 m in the Cariboo Mountains the Cariboo/Chilcotin contains over 800 lakes, including Quesnel Lake, the deepest fjord lake in the World. Add to that the Fraser river, the Nemaiah Valley, Beaver Valley, Cedar point, Chasm, The Cariboo and Chilcotin rivers.. and so many small communities like Horsefly and Likely and Barkerville and.... I don't have enough room here.
Hot summers and Cold winters make it a fantastic place to visit but the same can make living here difficult. Long distances, Mosquito season, the odd 38c (100F) day in the summer, snow, ice and the odd 45c ( 49F )day in the winter all make the Cariboo a challenging place to live.
It's offering of outdoor activities, beauty and wildlife can make it worthwhile.
