Clouds
Cloud formations
In the sky
Beg me to ask
The reason why?
What happened then?
What happens now?
What will happen
To Question how?
The clouds are billowing
To keep their heads
From billowing.
Oh what a mess
Has been made
But the clouds
They have stayed.
High above
In the sky
I like to believe
Clouds, know the reason why.
Valdy
My first Valdy concert was held at Georgian College, approximately fifty years ago. The colour of his hair may have changed, but his voice it remains the same.
Music, lifted by the acoustics of a beautiful centuries old church, mixed the vocal talents of the audience with the voice of Valdy and raised up the new songs and those of old up into a balcony that has heard so much!
I was delighted to see a pair of red shoes on Valdy’s feet!
Everyone should own a pair of red shoes!
Traveling from Salt Spring Island, which is cozily nestled between Vancover Island and mainland British Columbia, to nearly everywhere…..
Until next time.

Art Walk
I had planned, by now, to be done.
Instead, I have just begun.
A spot to sit upon cedar boughs. With coloured
rocks, as a red squirrel chatters in protest, not
wanting to share this space.
A hollow spot, within a healthy tree, gathers
treasures.
Spreading kindness like confetti.
Adding beauty and colour to my forest.
“In the beginning, God made the heavens and the
earth.” Genesis 1:1
A perfect spot to sit and rest, bathing in all the
scents and sights and sounds that the forest has
to offer.
Watch for an updated version this time next year!
Oh, to Fly
Oh, to fly.
To fly away,
with the wind
on a breezy day!
To be set free,
where I can be
like that branch,
high in the tree.
I went for a walk,
in my forest today.
My first walk
since things were blown away.
The earth was still.
The ground was wet.
It was the best walk,
that I've ever had!
Aurora Borealis
Seeing the Northern Lights give a spectacular display across the skies has been on my bucket list for a very long time.
Watching this magical dance with my family, while in different places in Canada, was an added blessing.
Galileo named this display in the night sky, Aurora Borealis. Aurora after the Roman goddess of dawn, and Borealis after the Greek name for the north wind.
Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights, Polar Lights
A spectacular dance of colour across our northern skies!!!!!
Sea Gulls
As the fog lifts
I begin to see,
all the lies
that have been told to me.
The little gull
up on the post,
she knows the one
who told the most.
Orange Shirt Day
but it’s mine.
Orange Shirt Day tells the story of a young girl who wears her favourite shirt to her first day of school only to have it taken away from her.
The message that Orange Shirt Day shares with everyone is ‘That Every Child Matters’, and to educate people about Residential Schools and the importance of fighting racism and bullying.
Learning the art of beading at the Simcoe County Museum.
Beading an orange shirt in honour of National Day of Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day.
The wearing of an orange shirt on September 30th is a symbol of solidarity with Indigenous Peoples.
The Colour Yellow
Bird on a Wire
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight from some old-fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
