As I was driving to Toronto yesterday the following phrase came to me as a means to express what I was experiencing......I was placing my fingers on the pulse of a dream, testing it out to see if it was at the right stage to progress.
The drive itself was wonderful. The hawk is a bird I love. I notice them everywhere I go. Yesterday there were more than I've ever seen on one trip sitting in the tops of trees all along the journey from Windsor to Toronto.
Holly shared her GPS unit with me so I was able to find the location with no difficulty at all. This also took me on a different route than I would have taken, the route recommended was to take the exit for the 403 just at Woodstock. It was really nice to get off the 401 at the stage and travel a different path. The traffic was better going that way as well.
The school I visited was in Cabbagetown, on Carlton St just west of Parliament St. I have never spent time in that part of Toronto so I really enjoyed walking around and looking at the architecture of the buildings and taking in the flavour of the neighbourhood.
The info session at the school was very good. It confirmed all that I had expected the program to be about and that it is a reasonable way for someone like myself to gain training necessary to potentially become a therapist.
A little side detail that intrigued me was the floor on one half of the main meeting room. The school is located in a row house on Carlton St. There is an office when you first come in the front door. Then you go up a staircase to the second floor entering a kitchen space at one end and a large living room set-up at the other end. The kitchen floor was a beautiful mosaic tile artwork. Mosaic art always speaks to me. My Dad made a tile-topped coffee table while he was in school and I always loved it. I have not yet done any mosaic work myself but know that I will one day. I do draw and paint and have always felt that the shapes and colours I'm drawn to would work very well in tile.
It was a refreshing trip and I'm so glad I went. Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement!
