Always a Silver Lining

Always a Silver Lining

Every Rainbow has an Unicorn at the end...

Each time I see a rainbow it gives me hope....the sun shining thru moisture in the air....can there be a better feeling...still air... still moisture...still hope that a cloud has a silver lining and that our lives have light and color and texture and truth. I was lucky enough to live the last nine years in the Islands of Haida Gwaii, mother nature rule with a heavy hand, the power of the ocean, the power of the wind and yet the generosity of nature in providing fish and berries and deer and all that one needs and many Rainbows.

Recently I saw the movie Avatar, such rainbow colors, such enormous love of nature and the entangelments that nourish and sustain us. I am so glad this movie shared these feelings with the people who see this show. I feel honored to have experienced the love of the people of Haida Gwaii and the gifts of sun and surf and sights of wild animals and sea creatures and birds living like they have for thousands of years. God makes no mistakes, every creature has a job and an right to live in peaceful harmony with each other. I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to experience this first hand.

Seven Years

Seven years since my son Gordon left this world. Pancreatic Cancer ravaged his young body, but his soul lives on. He left great memories, many who loved him, and we selfishly miss him....each and every day...I was so angry, why him, why after all he had endured throughout his life, and why when his life had just turned a corner, he was in a place in his life where he was happy loving Jen and was so proud of Blaine, Jack and Riah and basked in being loved by them. He loved to play hockey, to fish and to be with his Jenny. Gordie was funny and handsome and a tease, he had the most beautiful big blue eyes, which I see when I look into the face of his children...he was so lucky to have had the love that many look for all their lives yet never find....even so, I wish that he was here on this earth now.....so much left unsaid....my sadness is for his kids also, they missed knowing their dad and seeing the pride in his eyes when he saw how they grew...I see their wonderful faces, their accomplishments and their kind natures and know he would be so proud...
