just a thought....

I watch as the world spins around me...

In contemplation..

Are we who we are supposed to be?

or are we the masks of the past..

traditions and obligations...

covering up the beast inside...

leashed and caged...

never to be set free?

Winter Wonderland

I've lived in Manitoba my entire life and for the longest time I always thought it was the most boring and desolate place to live. Living in England gave me new perspective on my home town. It's absolutely stunning.
Where else will you find a forest to change to drastically within only a few months. You truly see the awe and complexity of nature at it's best in Canada.
When I arrived home from England, the first thing to truly stir emotions within me was to see a field, where looked upon one could not see it's beginning or end. I think we take it for granted of the amazing vastness that is Manitoba.
The sheer size and drama of the Manitoba countryside is inspiring in so many ways.

all that is solid melts into air

The idea: that those most happily at home in the modern world may be the most vulnerable to the demons that haunt it. The idea: that the daily routine of clubs and cars, of shopping and eating and cleaning up,of ordinary hugs and kisses, may not be only joyous and infinitely beautiful but also infinitely precarious and fragile. The idea: that it may take desperate and heroic struggles to sustain this life, and sometimes we lose.
A book by the revolutionary writer marshall berman sheds some light on the ever changing, ever revolutionizing era of modernity we live. It is our struggle as modernists to grasp at the air to find that bit of solidarity that we crave so much in a world of constant evaporation.
So will you, man or woman of modernity, fight to hold onto what you know is real and fight against the hot melting heat that threatens to evaporate everything you know and love. Or will you as radical revolutionists melt yourselfs in hope that one day you may solidify into something new, revolutionary, and ground breaking?
These are the two greatest questions we must ask ourselves in times of great change.....

little memories....

Little memories follow me everywhere now....

Lifeless lumps in beds....

Out of Place Things....

Ferrero Rocher wrappers surfacing....

Things never packed....

Footprints still there.....

She's gone, and little memories remind me....
