“We don’t accomplish anything in this world alone … and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one’s life and all the weavings of individual threads from one to another that creates something.” – Sandra Day O’Connor
This wonderful quote comes from having dinner on Sunday night at Foundations, a vegetarian restaurant in Vancouver. I guess I should back up and say why we were there, otherwise the point of writing this entry will be for naught!
We have been looking for some time now at the possibility of joining an ecovillage when we finish working at our current jobs. This comes from a whole-hearted agreement of the principles of the ecovillages we have researched. So long story short, we went to Vancouver and then on to Chilliwack where there is the Yarrow Ecovillage Society. We met with their spokesperson and had a tour. We think we may have found our future!
The rest of the weekend was spent with Ruth and Doug (sister and brother-in-law) who live in Mission. We had our very first Wherry rowing lessons and generally enjoyed every minute of our weekend away. Including a trip to MEC, Kidsbooks, and Foundations, which is where I started! Do put this restaurant on your to do list … I’m certainly looking forward to my next trip to Vancouver.
