UBC Garden Summer Solstice Event

Message provided on behalf of Susan Gerofsky:

We want to invite you to be part of our annual Summer Solstice Celebration in the UBC Orchard Garden this Friday, June 23 from 10 AM – 1PM (or perhaps 1:30) at Totem Field, 2613 West Mall on the UBC Main Campus.

This year’s celebration is planned and led by UBC teachers candidates in the Community Field Experience practicum and by members of the Orchard Garden student team, from the faculties of Education and Land and Food Systems.

Come support the Orchard Garden, enjoy lunch and take home a bouquet of fresh herbs!

See the attached poster below for details — hope to see you there.

Cheers

Susan & the Orchard Garden team

the noise

i am surrounded by a
noisy silence

a calm in the air
yet
the sounds of the wind and rain
on my left
and
the sounds of a whirring vent
on my right
how strange this
cacophony of sound

how strange this
battle of sounds
competing for my attention
unfolding before me

and suddenly …
the whirring vent is
tag teamed with the
whining fridge

and now all i hear
is deafening mechanical
noise.
