It was a real pleasure to meet this young man Garret from Alberta who was travelling through Vernon and meeting with friends. 

Garret has taken the amazing step to go travelling around the country in his truck and trailer with money he saved while working. 

Smart idea to expand your mind and see new places rather than just pulling up his bootstraps. 

He is out exploring himself and the world and it was a great chance to hear is thoughts and dreams. 

His energy and enthusiasm for life was contagious and he sure got the conversation going. 

We were sampling some incredible Tequila from Sinaloa.  

Aged in tradition Los Osuna Blue Agave Spirits is a truly unique product that comes from the State of Sinaloa in Mexico. It is made with the same care and historical attention to detail that the Osuna family has refined since the late 1800s. 

Old school processing combined with new technology has created the most exquisite of all blue agave spirits.

Los Osuna is made with 100% Natural Blue Weber Agave. 

I mentioned to Garret that in the production facility they played music during the fermentation in order to stimulate the process and this led to a very fun discussion about energy. 

I brought up the great work of Alan Watts which you can learn about in this short video. 

The conversation became so fun as we looked into the mysterious and tugged at the bootstraps. 

Garret enjoyed every minute of it and his open and curious mind was lovely. 

We did have one of one of Garret's friends with us who just sat and listened. 

He finally looked at us both and all he said reminded me of what Fritz Perls said to Alan Watts in the short video: 

"The trouble with you two is you are all words."
