Blessing of the Bells Ritual

Just got back.. Sooooo tired. The workshop/ceremony was a fabulous event. 25 eeensy tiny little ones in cute little matching idn outfits' chittering and chatterting and following along: making animal faces and learning c h k a. Then a traditional ceremony and blessing of the bells: oil lamps, powder throwing, incense and chanting and my favorite: yummy dessert! Then extra yummy yummy lunch (8-10 indian dishes?) for the honored guest (The Guru.) I played lackeye companion who fetched and served. No big deal. It honors her and is what she wants. The group looked at me with curiousity, "What's up with the white girl in the corner carrying the Guru's stuff?"

Anyway, would like to add more details, but too too tired..

Must nap now before Miss Canada arrives.
