Recap of the three previous days: A wonderful heartwarming time spent with friends, taking care of a heartbreak, driving my friend to see his youngest daughter before flying off to India, playing wii fitness games, swimming in salt water pool... had a great time.
On Friday, we went to a drum circle... close to the town of Guelph, southwest of Toronto, according to our friend. Made sense, since that was were his daughter's mother lives. So we all set out in my car... and quickly got stuck in traffic, in road constructions, more traffic, zig-zagged with secondary roads ... only to realize two hours later, that our Indian friend ... well ... doesn't really know the lay of the land around Toronto, now does he. Let's just say that if we taken it upon ourselves to enquire about the final address, and done a mapquest search, we would have gotten there in one and half hour tops, instead of the almost four hours it took us to get there.
Moral of the story:
- take responsibility for where you are going or doing
- if someone tells you that you have to do something before doing something else, don't believe them, as there might be a faster way to get to your destination
- if you let go and surrender, you might just have a great time during the journey. We managed to have a great time driving south, then southwest of Toronto then clear north of Toronto.
The drum circle setting was magical: an organic farm specializing in organic ice-cream, a mini-horse pulling a cart, alpacas and baby cows, children running around, a BBQ with a tantalizing smell, especially because I didn't have enought satifying juices with me ... but I am getting better at being ok with the feeling of hunger, and I definitely need more dark green juices to keep me sustained through the day.
The gathering ended on a starry night with a full orange moon. Simply magical.
