We joined three other families for the Ground Water Festival. There were numerous sessions for us to choose from covering a huge range of water topics. We listened to an explanation on the workings of city plumming, wells, sorted recycling in a relay, pumped water for animals, learned how water feeds a sprinkler and ran through it. On a personal note I was reminded with numbers the disparity of water access with the average Canadian using 20 - 100litre buckets of water a day, while the average person from Uganda using less than 1 bucket a day. I was encouraged hearing that 3 feet of newspapers recycled saves one tree. These are things I knew, but feel empowered to live intentionally in hearing them.
When you do things from your soul you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
Rumi
From catching frogs to star gazing, baking to day tripping, jumping off the dock to story telling, homeschooling to adjusting to bears in the yard, each day is an adventure and an attempt to live soulfully. The real joy for me comes from doing it with my 'crew'; Elias (12yo), Ben (10yo), Aria (8yo), Shai (4yo) and my partner Chris.
