Before I get into the Cordova Bay scene, I want to say sorry to Lydia as I missed her reference to the 4:20 post I made.  I went back and checked my links and of course I incorrectly linked it to Michelle Obama’s organic garden. Hmm. Not sure what that is all about.  I am sure she is not growing the “weed” in it.  Still you never know.   Should be clear now what 4:20 is.

In any case I visited Codova Bay which we loosely say is in Victoria, BC as we do with many things in this area.  It is actually in Saanich, BC.  No matter, so am I some of the time.  Hey my spell check does not recognize Saanich and wants to change it to satanic.  Hey it is not that baaaaaaaaaad around here.  It is quite pleasant actually.

I took a bus trip close to there and walked a few kilometers or so to the beach and took my Fuji point and click camera.  It does all the work for me so I tend to not take the credit (or debit) for it.  Looking at it on the map it is about 8.1KM from me, as the car flies,  so I must have walked nearly twice that far as I went up Mt. Doug (Mount Douglas) after traversing the beach at fairly low tide.  It has plenty of interesting, and some disgusting things around.  Mt Doug is a real hike, I went up the back way and will have a few pics from there to post later.  You can see the sea all around from every direction except up island to the north.  Fantastic view.

One of the interesting spectacles was a tree that appears to be leaning out to sea almost as if it is beckoning to go there or perhaps to become the bow of a ship headed out to sea.  In any case here it is, so you be the judge.

I will post another shot.  How this tree manages to say up, is anyone’s guess.  What do you think?

I think maybe the “ancients” were visiting here at one time, well I am sure they were, and planted these rocks in this pattern for some reason.

Well, to me, these are all spiritual things and have good energy, calm, peaceful, serene.   It looks and smells great near the ocean.  Even before I got to the ocean I could smell it.  Just feel the energy in these pictures if you will.  Can you?

Ok, enough already.  Perhaps I will make a pictorial video out of the excursion, perhaps not.

Got to get something done today.

Enjoy your day or night wherever you may be.

All of us has a story, and perhaps multiple stories.  Eckhart Tolle has some interesting thoughts on that in his book Practicing the Power of Now. I highly recommend you check that out.

So ignoring his advice, for now, I will tell a story.  I have had allergies since my days of youth, some of which are quite severe, food and environmental allergies.  A recent trip to an allergy specialist got me some advice to avoid using sulfites in my diet.  Now if you look at most anything in a grocery store, just about everything contains this preservative.  In fact most things you buy have a long list of chemicals and additives that no one in their right mind would willingly ingest. Many of these things are not “green” and loaded with additives.

Still they feed it to us authorized by the various governmental bodies and agencies.  Also the food we are fed is laced with chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and well as many plants being altered genetically.  The soil for the food is dead of almost all the natural microorganisms that keep the soil healthy and the plants used to produce the food for us.

Who is behind this?  Well companies like Monsanto.  Who are they, from Wikipedia, here is an excerpt:

Monsanto’s development and marketing of genetically engineered seed and bovine growth hormone, as well as its aggressive litigation and political lobbying practices, have made the company controversial around the world and a primary target of the anti-globalization movement and environmental activists.

In a recent news item, Michelle Obama was planting an organic garden at the White House so they would enjoy some good fresh vegetables.  So who would object to that?  Well, guess who. Pesticide Lobby Group lead by Dow, Monsanto and DuPont. Talk about WMDs will ya! Totally insane.

No wonder that that allergy sufferers are on the increase.  Of course there are a number of reasons for this.

I started using soap nuts to do my laundry and find them highly effective for me. I react to strong scents, soaps and chemicals.  So this natural tree product is great for me.

Happy 4:20 Day. Or is is Happy 420 Day?

Ok, getting to the 4:20,  I knew what it meant in general terms.  Here is an article about it.  All ready to toke up? Some point to this as the Origin. Seems like this ties in with all this natural stuff.  There are lots of legal drugs around, alcohol and such and the powers that be take issue with marijuana, which is much less of a problem overall.  I am not recommending it just believe it should be legalized and they can regulate it and then the governments can tax it for use just like the other legal drugs.

Ok I will get off this for now and leave you with a few photos I have taken lately.

Cheers,
