April 30th, encounters with rock balancers

By Aimee Rimes

Yesterday we met Avaiz Hashmi down on the Toronto Beaches while we were balancing rocks.

We're hoping he will join our blog.

While he was balancing rocks a man and his son also ended up helping Avaiz. It seems that whenever someone sees people balancing rocks they are 2 things:

#1. They are amazed and/or think we used superglue.

#2. They want to try it themselves. The more childlike they are the more likely they seem to want to try it themselves.

Yesterday we had two men squabbling over the best way to balance a set of rocks we let them knock over in an attempt to beat what we had balanced. It was amusing to watch their efforts. They probably learned a fair bit however.

We believe that anyone can learn how to balance rocks, it just takes patience as one kid kept repeating yesterday.
