Passing torches

[street_show]

In 2008 I had the opportunity to go to a city on the far east coast of Canada to perform at another street performing festival. The city and crowds were wonderful, welcoming and I was with good company. I had incredibly fun and fulfilling shows and an absolutely gorgeous time- not only doing shows but also eating the local delicacy: Deep fried cod

That is really amazing and awesome, and also really heartwarming. :) A really big, and humbling honor, and even more amazing is to see you be so touched by it

No, it was a pleasure to read.

Travel and risk and wonder and newness and all those other things are worth any amount of money. It isn't always easy, but few things are truly worth doing that are easy.

I'm so happy for you to be willing to take those risks, and I'm honoured that you can point to my "spirit" as an inspiration. It... Is really indescribable and I cannot express how much it means to hear things like that.

Thank you.

<3 You're very welcome.

I've actually been toying with the idea that if I really love the traveling like that, more than what the industry is looking like or has been for me, that I'll just keep doing it and try to support myself street performing. It's a way off what-if, but it's come to mind. Which, mind you, would never have happened if I hadn't been able to read about your experiences. I doubt that'll be the outcome since the plan is to come back and room with a friend who'll be going to gradschool, but I like to keep my options open, especially right now since my future is a lot more open than I thought it would be. But I'm enjoying my new freedom and looking forward to adventures. :) So thank you.

I thought so too. I don't think I'll tell him though, I think he might be embarrassed. ;)

Make sure to keep a lit torch for yourself. ;)

I almost forgot how much I love reading your blog posts. Almost :)

Aww shucks. I've missed hearing from you. Don't be a stranger, okay?

Sometimes I wonder, but it was really nice to see and read it. You're too kind, Jess. Where are you now anyways, by the way?
