Critical mass...

Is there a critical mass of Newfoundlander and Labradoreans that has been distributed throughout the world? Anecdotal evidence seems to support this notion. At least it seems I cannot move across this amazing country of Canada without continually encountering my countrywo/men wherever I travel.

Earlier this week I was in the Triple Spiral store in Fan Tan Alley – Victoria, B. C. Just the day before I had bumped into a CBC television crew doing a piece on the Winter Solstice. Apparently I looked like a good interview. SO I ended up expounded about Yule and the Winter Solstice. The next time I am in the store, Phyllis, the proprietor introduces me to Judith, who is from Newfoundland. We chatted for about an hour.

That same evening I attended a Solstice ritual in a yurt where I encountered a woman from Labrador. The today I am waiting for a walk light at the corner of View and Blanshard in Victoria and I end up talking with a woman from Placentia who knows my best friends family from Point Verde.

So this evening I head off the Beagle Pub in Cook Street Village. As the evening wore on I stepped outside for some stale air – which I freely shared with three others who were also outside. Shortly thereafter I end up in a game of cribbage with Heather from Baie Verte, Newfoundland.

It seems then, at least as represented by my current life on this celestial plan that we have at last created a critical mass of Newfoundlanders and Labradoreans.
