Moncton, New Brunswick
Perfect Saturday
Louis is a musician in town who
holds mini-concerts in his home. For years he resided in Toronto’s “Little
India,” where he purchased and played instruments traditional to Mother India –
everything from mrdanga drums to sitar and ecktar. Tonight was our night to
hold our concert, which included a book launch for The Saffron Path. It
was after our music that Louis pulled out, one by one, his musical string pride
in the form of instruments from origins in China, India, and Arabic lands.
We were packed in Louis’ living
room, half with musicians and half with spiritualists and healers. All got
charged up by the chants that our group of four projected through the mics and
monitors. They were loving it. Some of the attendees dove in to our small
boutique corner purchasing books and beads for the hands and beads for the
neck.
You could not experience a better
Saturday night. It was the ultimate party, not in a traditional wild sense, but
in a “natural high” experience. The musicians were totally in sync with our
groove. We were one.
For me personally, the warm up
for the evening was the walk along the Petitcodiac River at low tide (here you
can witness the world’s highest tide). Ryan and I took to the wind, the sun,
and the smell of lilac. It was all good.
May the Source be with you!
