Stellarton, Nova Scotia

A Story and Trails

He was only twelve and at school he got confused. He thought maybe he should be a girl, and so he started doing some “new things,” such as putting nail polish on the fingernails. Some of the kids were making fun but he was supported by the staff. Some months had passed and he figured out that “maybe I am really a boy,” and he was relieved of confusion. Now, some years ago, he is the captain of his local hockey team and the path is more clear for him.

The above story was told to me by a relative of the boy. You can draw your own conclusions on the story. For me, it conjures up concerns about our school system. Should the system educate and enlighten or should it indoctrinate and confuse young students through its “sex education.”

I was told this story as I walked with a companion, along Albion Trail. I trekked with different co-walkers today, while at the Bedford Basin; Jitney Trail and Albion. Biting into an apple from abandoned trees along these pathways was irresistible. “Organic juice bodies,” is how I might describe the darlings. There was a fun sign at the beginning of the Jitney Trail, addressing dog walkers, saying that the poop fairy doesn’t do her job here. Nope, it’s a dog owner’s responsibility.

Daniel drove me to New Glasgow and its twin town, Stellarton. It’s the location of Sobey’s food empire headquarters and our gracious host, Ravi, is an employee. Ravi invited Mexican co-worker Samuel. We engaged in great conversation on metaphysical and higher consciousness.

May the Source be with you!
