Markets

In many communities you can find a local market. Sometimes they are only there for a weekend, sometimes a season and if your community is lucky enough it might be there all year. One thing I love about markets everywhere I have been is their cultural inclusivity. All people in booths selling their goods. Food, drinks, crafts and much more can be found at these markets. Always a treat for the senses, smelling the lingering aromas of the varying meals being prepared. Tasting the homemade food, like fresh local berries when in season. Touching the beautiful fabrics of clothes or blankets that were hand-stitched or woven. Seeing all the beautiful colours from each of the booths and watching people mingle. Hearing the music of a local troubadour belting out familiar tunes. Markets are alive, they are local trademarks of a community. Communities come together sharing their gifts and talents. Wherever you are take some time in your schedule to visit a local market. It makes good ‘sense’.
