Outing at Owen
Two families and I made the two hour trip to Owen Sound Owen Sound Canada ’s drive-in movies which were popular in
the fifties and sixties and then arrive at a park at Jones
Falls , one of numerous waterfalls
found on the Niagara escarpment. The temperature
just wasn’t strong enough to justify a swim today. We settled for a walk on the
Bruce Trail
I failed to mention our Nepalese companion, Suman, who heard
that mushrooms were in abundance. He came prepared with his sizeable canvass
bag meant for foraging for four different kinds of mushrooms.
“What are you going to do with this?” I asked as he made
good with the harvest.
Cook it and eat it,” he said plainly. The man was in ecstasy
and upon discovering a mushroom would make this unique form of a howl,
something that kind of comes along with the territory when you’re trekking
through the woods. Alex also had a knack for howling, which was okay because he
was taking the lead and he would help us stay on track.
We capped off our day, much after the walk was finished,
with a chant converging in one home. We handed our honourary flower garland to
Samantha, a local yoga teacher from the area. She’s in love with kirtan
and plays a role in networking with others in kirtan admitting that it
is the ultimate yoga practice.
The meal that followed was prepared by Alka and it was to
die for. Of course, it was animal free but also gluten free. We found the
dishes scrumptious. Our program was dedicated to young Priyam who, in four
days, will set off to university for his first year. Congratulations!
May the Source be with you!
