a dawning presence
as I travel this train of life,
a station where I'll bid you farewell
and know no more. Before we arrive,
there is much
to do to try to calm
a sea of turbulence, of uncertainty,
of confused essences
you and my children will encounter
beyond that station.
Just a little something
I strain to contribute
like the flap of that butterfly's wing,
perhaps,
to avoid what looms leering.
Yet, there is joy in the doing
and your company.
Village engages individuals, neighbourhoods & organizations to take actions that build sustainable communities & have fun doing it. Join us!

what's a "bees parade" ? :)
next bees parade may 6
Are those the staring stars I see?
Or only lights.. not meant for me?
Not my prose, but your poem reminded me of these lines from J.B..
Your photos are also nicely juxtaposed: a child playing in water, a boat playing on land. I think the child is happier.
I always learn from reading your stories and vignettes relating to Palestine and all the dysfunctional people in that land of the torturers and the tortured. Please keep that up. Maybe someday social justice there will stop being labelled as racist.
Village Vancouver is a great respite from the horribly polluted politics of our city, province, and country. I wish I could turn my back on all of it, but can't, and so I hope the Transition Movement will wash all such zero-sum conflict away.
Welcome to Village Vancouver and Kits Village!
It turns out that there were two free worm composters being offered by VVers near the Drive -- hope yours worked out.
