My friend Adam Yukelson took up rock balancing after hanging out with us at the ALIA Institute last month. He made this sculpture on the shores of the Dead Sea a couple of weeks ago.
Beautiful.
Prince Edward Islanders like to caution vistors to drive safely and not to speed. I understand this, coming as I do from a slow island. However, the motive here seems to be different: after driving around eastern PEI today I have concluded that Islanders like vistors to keep a steady speed so they can pass you 15 km/h over the limit!
Glad to know that. Happy to do my part!
…and searching for summer.
After ALIA ended the family and I went down to The Shire, near Yarmouth for three days of hanging out with good friends from the Art of Hosting community, the Berkana Institute and the Split Rock Learning Centre. Our program consisted entirely to mastering the idea of pacing. We paced ourselves so well, that time itself slipped away. Matt cooked brilliant food, and there was music everywhere.
Following that, one night at Windhorse Farm near Bridgewater Nova Scotia and then on to Charlottetown last night. We are now firmly ensconced in Rob Paterson’s barn, lolling around and enjoying a late morning, before we head into town to catch the Canada Day festivities.
We’re hoping for some decent beach weather while we’re here, but is has been cold and raining for a month. That ought not to discourage us though.
