Le Marché (The Market)

1 Dec 09 - Queen Victoria Night Market, Melbourne, Australie - J'ai vu une danse d'habitant de Sumatra au Marché. C'était hypnotique.

. (I saw some Sumatran
dances - mesmerizing)
The sounds, smell of international foods, clothing and objects from various parts of the world -
This market is my second favorite in Australia. My favorite one is the Mendel Beach Sunset Market in
Darwin, Northern territory, Australia. They are similar but the one in Darwin is at the beach with the sun
setting and it is cozier/smaller. At the Queen Victoria Night Market, there were some Sumatran's presenting
some Sumatran dances. One of the dances was so compelling that the actors and actresses left the theatre of
my mind and my thoughts ceased. It is in these moments on my travels (now 7 months into this part of my travels)
that I see life can be more than my mind understands. Looking back on this experience, I realize that even
though I did not understand with my conscious mind, I nonetheless "understood". The effect is that my mind
became still. This experience reminds me again that there is so much more to this world than I understand.
People and animals truly find ways to survive and thrive.
