Ramsden Park, Toronto
Samples
Temperatures, weather-wise, are very much
moderate today to the point that it drew a crowd of people and their pets. The
dog park is very popular and on the street level a shop that caters to all dog
needs recently took up a rental commitment. The place is called the Dogfather
and it’s just around the corner.
Next to the dog park I planted myself at a
picnic table only to meet with two devotees for a chat about relationships, but
yes, most definitely about honey badgers and, most of all, GOD not DOG.
I had walked the area of Yorkville and in a
lane of shops between Cumberland and Yorkville Ave. a young woman from a soap
shop asked if I wanted to sample some soap from a spray container.
“Yes, sure, why not?” She did say “sample”
and it was for free. Also, the product was invented in Amsterdam and, for some
reason or another, operations were transferred to Toronto.
We went inside and we tried another spray
sample with a choice of scents. I took the olive brand with, something else
mixed with it, and it was sweet. A convenient sink was there to wash off excess
soap. She also gave me a take-home of a colour-rich, licorice-stick-shaped
soap.
The woman was so kind, caring and I thought I not only walked home (first to the park) with a sample of soap but also a sample of how to deal, in a cordial way, with a newcomer. She and her co-workers did excellent. I also gave them a take-home card with the mantra on one side. I learned from the past “Always carry a sample.”
May the Source be with you!
