I picked out the words to some of these pages a long time ago.  There must have been a plan at that stage, but if there was, it is well forgotten.  So, confronted with the words ‘A kind of reminder’ my mind was once again a blank canvas.  I waited patiently whilst a herd of  Wildebeest’s stampeded through it, and waited for the dust to settle.  It didn’t take long.  The words ‘A kind of reminder’ put me in mind of a memento or an epitaph or a calendar: crossing the days off to mark the passage of time: ever changing seasons marked by nature.

I decided to give nature a helping hand by ‘planting’ these antique seed packets.  Well, photocopies of  images of antique seed packages.  I like the old charm of these, the design and the old colours.  Some of these flowers and vegetables have faded into the past: they are now extinct.  I printed these images onto fawn coloured paper to age them further.

The words ‘pushed into sand’ also suggests planting or embedding.  It made me think of shifting sand: how the winds of change can disrupt and change life as we know it.  Constantly destroying and recreating, but forever changing.

The interesting thing about the seed packet designs is that each design is made up of tiny coloured dots, stippled into polished Limestone with a German ink called Coal Tar.  The technique is called Stone lithography.  It was very painstaking work as every dot of colour is down with a needle pointed pen: each colour on a seperate stone, then silk screen printed.  This is how it was done before 1920 and the advent of the camera.

It begans on a wonderful Saturday afternoon with a Harvest Fair at Slocan Park. Sticky fingers finishing up last-minute lanterns, local harvesters showing off their prized crops and other various activities proved to be the source of entertainment for both the young and old.

Once the sun began its descent beyond the horizon, we began to follow a rather large moon to the Refrew Ravine where we would be transported into a whole other world. On our way we were accompanied by magicians of music which made the atmophere merry. After walking a fair big and sharing smiles, there was definitely an air of euphoria as we entered a world of enchantment.

There was a fork in the road as we entered; you could choose to follow the crowd into the sea of warm lights, or make a turn into the Stream of Consciouness where you could witness a quirky tea party and see a cathedral of silk. Following the path by the ravine you could pursue into a hall of trees hanging droplets of Prayers for the Water and right before exiting, you could witness a very eerie performance in the small clearing beneath the trees. Entering into the park, if you turned around, you would have been able to see the sun setting on one side of the vast sky and a full, harvest moon rising on the other.

Before the night ended, everyone gathered by the park. They were all entranced by the dancing lions and the story of the moon and the sun and many were enjoying moon cakes. Once the finale came around, you couldn’t possibly leave right away, for the performance was definitely captivating and the performance was definitely captivating and the fireworks were twice the spectacle they were last year. This year’s Moon Festival was absolutely much more than what I could describe in words.

Did you know that Canadians produce 12 million tonnes of waste per year? Waste Reduction week is October 19th to 25th and we want you to take charge. There are so many simple ways to reduce the number of times you take the trash out. For example, compost! 2/3 of our household wastes can be composted. We throw out almost 7 millions tonnes of organic waste each year! So, as long as it isn’t a meat product, or something that isn’t biodegradable, it can go in a compost bin and you’ll have a batch of healthy soil ready for your garden.

Fact: 60% of all garbage in landfills don’t belong! Other than composting, most ‘garbage’ can be recycled. Another way to reduce waste is by using less. This includes packaging, paper, plastics, water, food, and almost anything else. For example, you can bring your own lunch from home instead of buying it every day. In fact, for the duration of Waste Reduction week, the Windermere Cafeteria will be charging more for anyone who does not bring their own tupperware. So remember that if you want to buy your lunch, bring your own plates and utensils. For those who do bring their tupperware, you’ll be saving money and a small part of the planet too!

Now you may wonder why we even do this at all. Well, in case you haven’t noticed already, the world is pretty much as its breaking point. Any more over the edge and we’ll never be able to turn things around. Scientists all around the world have been saying this for years, and we need to listen to them! We live in such a consumer society that the line between “needs” and “wants” has pretty much disappeared. We buy so many things and throw out even more! All the garbage we make hides in a bag while it’s around us. Then, some large machine comes and takes it away to massive landfills where the garbage sits for many years. “Out of sight, out of mind!” But we need to think about this. Start changing your habits during Waste Reduction week and then go on to make it every week of the year. You don’t know how much of a difference you can make until you actually try it out.

Thank-You Windermere for your donations that went towards the AIDS Walk for Life. This year we raised $330 and it was our third year in a row fund-raising. This money will help improve the lives of people in BC that are affected by HIV and AIDS. The walk took place on Sunday, September 21, 2008. Although we had a late start, the atmosphere was still very festive and fun. Once again, thank-you for your generosity.

Aussi le labyrinthe du continu n’est pas une ligne qui se dissoudrait en points indépendants, comme le sable fluide en grains, mais comme une étoffe ou une feuille de papier qui se divise en plis à l’infini ou se décompose en mouvements courbes, chacun déterminé par l’entourage consistant ou conspirant.
