Festival of South Asia

Something seemed a little wrong this afternoon. Wrong? What could possibly be wrong in this Superhero-Rawketgirl's life??? Well, for a brief second or two I questioned what was going on - a lot of my friends are up north at a huge chocolate party - swimming in beautiful pristine clear water, hanging out with David Wolfe and Ron and Nadine of Living Libations and so many other great high-vibe people and I was sure I was supposed to be there and it just wasn't flowing for me to be there - and then I get another e-mail asking if I was going to the Raw Spirit Fest - and I'm not - sigh, whats up with that - I was sure I would be - I had decided a year ago that I would definitely be going this year.. I was confused.
& Then my son called and I went and had a wonderful dinner with him - we made the hugest salad ever and had fresh organic cherries, strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, watermelon.. and just about every vegetable in the store was brought home and cut up and it was sooo colorful and beautiful -I still didn't have my camera - I was feeling a lot better and in sync again, still wondering what was up with the Universe that I trust so deeply in - and then tonight I ended up quite by chance in Little India (I know I was Indian in a past life!) and borrowed my friends camera and had so much fun taking all these blurry art pics of the action - and there was a lot of it - Loud Indian music everywhere, so much color and food - and it hit me that maybe for now, just for now, I am meant to experience life on my own.. in my own way, there is no question whether I will be raw now and I don't need the support, although raw companions are the best kind (& family, of course!!!) but maybe I just need inspiration and ideas of a different kind.. and to work on my book on my time off is not such a bad idea either - I think it really all does make sense - I have put my visions out there and I do have faith that the Universe is putting everything in place - there are signs everywhere!

..and while I did miss you at the chocolate event and I will miss you at the Raw Spirit Fest - well, check out at all these cool wild pics I just took!! (esp the blurry ones further down) : ) They make me really happy too!

This weekend, Gerrard Street East's Little India will be home to a dynamic festival showcasing the sights and sounds from a range of South Asian nations.

The fifth annual Festival of South Asia is set to provide visitors with the best aspects of the East Indian, Sri Lankan, Pakistani and Bangladeshi cultures. ...

A lot of the food on the street being prepared was not raw!
But this pic below is one of my favorite fruit stands - with several kinds of mangoes and lots of my fav tropical fruit.
There was lots of music..
and shows being put on..
I took about 50 pics, but only posting a few. I was having so much fun with them coming out blurry, it seemed to capture the action better - pictures are usually just so 2D.. my friend thought maybe it wasn't a good idea - that maybe you would think I was on ayahuasca or something, lol - but no, this is just pure ART!!! : )
