Thanks Tanya for your kind enquiry. Presently I am in a struggle, trying to be present to my daughter and grand daughter: Breanna and Trinity. Things are coming to a head. That is why I have not replied to your request re "This is My Drum".
So this morning a little later, on my journey, I intend to pass by your house on John St. and put my donation ($50) in the mail box or between the door. I intend to go to the performance and bring my daughter, so save me two tickets; the sooner the better. Opening night would be fine, which I understand to be this Thurs. Feb. 5. I am not sure if I can draw Breanna out to come, as she is not in a good space. I think of you fondly as you continue so faithfully with your work of bringing healing and enlightenment through your talents of dancing and community building, but most especially when I see your brother at Healthy Foods and More; or Karen at the Working Centre. Lots of water under the bridge, no? but thankfully, the river is still flowing. Maybe someday we can have a coffee and catch up a bit? Affectionately and gratefully, Don
P.S. I have "4 Wheels" now (temporarily) as I drove my landlady, Emma, who is 93, to the Breslau Airport, last Fri. She is going to have a hip replacement (the second) in Saskatoon, as they said she "was too old" to do the operation here in Ontario! She will be out there at least until the end of February. Ahh!! the "Life Force" is good. And your little note to me before this weekend (Jan. 30) is one sign of it.
Thanks again. Don
P.P.S. Once idea in the back of my mind: would you have the time? &/or be interested in giving a few lessons of personal integration via dance to my daughter (with me present at the beginning "to bridge it" and continuing if this is OK with her and you? I certainly am willing to pay your "going rate". My daughter you may remember has FASD/ARND, and tho she danced in the distant past, is "out of shape" and full of "conflicting" emotions due to her stage in life (she is 26 going on 19). Cognitive therapy (with lots of words as you know) involving the executive function of her brain where I believe she is compromised, does not work with her as you can imagine, however, I have had some success with her recently, A) cooking with her at the Kitchen in the Working Centre, and B)doing some work with horses (6 hours up by Arthur) in last Nov-December.
