My first rainy day in Vancouver

View from my bedroom.

One Scary thing a day.

In this year of change, transition, fresh starts, I have made a promise to myself to do something that scares me everyday. Whether that means telling someone I just met that I think they are swell, doing an activity that Im not sure I'll enjoy or something completely outside of my comfort zone, I have promised myself not to not shy away, and not to turn and run.

My only point is: I went to church today. For the first time in years.

More to come Im sure.

A note to myself, from my Asia Journal

1) Guys in jean cut offs look cool

2) People who walk with their mouths open look dumb

3) Large sunglasses make girls look hot

My favourite part of the day

Good Morning Ocean, and the OM in your waves.

Good Morning Boats, and your men getting ready for the day.

Good Morning Clouds, as your faces change.

Good Morning Sky. What will you bring me today?

Good Morning Wind, as you awaken the trees.

Good Morning Palms, and the songs that you sing.

Hello Morning, there is stillness in your start.

Good Morning Universe thank you for this work of art.

Ignorance is Bliss

My eyes have been opened to the injustices of our land.
Opened to how lost our nation has become.
The absence of ceremony has made our days drift together with meaningless moments in time, lost the second they end.
The lack of purpose, the hollowness of entitlement.
We have given up thankfulness and connection for loneliness and greed.
How do I work within a system so defunct?
How do I work alongside people who are so lost?
How do I carry on with the knowledge I now posses?

The Ocean

Swimming against the current is hard work, and it gets you no where fast. But sometimes its important. To strengthen your muscles, to train your mind.

Swimming with the current is easier and quicker. The trick is patience until the current finds you. After that, oneness; as life swirls around you in syncronized beauty.
