So, I went to that Children's Mind, Body and Spirit Festival that I mentioned yesterday...um, well...what can I say other than it was whaky. I think it was run by the kind of people that would plant their baby's placenta in the garden to nourish a tree or something like that. It was seriously bizarre. I am sure there may have been a lot of great information there somewhere but I wasn't able to see it through the drum beating hippy taking us on a journey to the pixies and water spirits in a tree trunk. I also must have missed the great information hiding there somewhere while we did a rain dance for the dolphins and reached our arms up to "Father Sky" and patted "Mother Earth" with our feet. Needless to say, we left a little earlier than we had anticipated because it was just so far off the beaten track of what I consider to be my spiritual journey. Each to their own though and if this makes other people feel good, that's great, it just wasn't my cup of tea at all. Looking on the bright side though, I did take a few things away from today...
Firstly, they had some very beautiful crystals at reasonable prices so I stocked up on a few of them. There wasn't a huge variety but considering my crystal collection is just starting out, the ones that they had were perfect for me.
Then there was the lesson I learnt about Elliott; he is even more like his father than I imagined. When we were doing the rain dance for the dolphins and I had him on my hip "grooving" away, he kept looking at me like I had completely lost the plot. This was a look I had never seen in him before and it was his father's face through and through. His expression really did say "Ok, guys, Mum has totally lost her marbles now. I know it's been coming for a while but here it is, doing a rain dance for the dolphins...they live in the freaking ocean for Pete's sake, where there is an abundance of water!". Yep, his father's son for sure!!
Lastly, this is the first time I have done something out of the ordinary with Elliott while Soph has missed out by being at Kindy (if you can call it "missing out" lol). Elliott picked a crystal for her so I can't just pretend that we didn't go out so I am thinking I will just say we went to a special shop and Elliott wanted her to have this special crystal. Thankfully, I already talk to Sophie about crystals, chakras and energy so she will undoubtedly enjoy it as a gift. I would have loved for her to come too, just for the experience of it really, but I love having a break from her when she goes to Kindy even more :)
That just brings to mind the fact that Mat and I haven't actually discussed how we want to bring the kids up in a spiritual sense. After today though, I think that it will be Sophie and I who are "into it" all while Mat and Elliott look at us like fruit loops from the sidelines. As I said though, each to their own :)
Oh and if you hear on the news tonight of a pod of dolphins drowning in the ocean...that was our rain dance today sorry, apparently they needed even more water than the ocean could supply :)
