I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

Time is a contradiction,
a distinct barrier between
now and when, or fact and
trend. If it is not a signal,
then it will be a sign. It is
only time; time to waste
or to embrace as it is.
Nothing stops time, not
even the strongest mind.
In that way we are then
held hostage by the clock.
In other ways it is our
freedom to leave behind
the wrongs of time.
The clock on the wall, the
watch on your wrist,
always consistent and
never a twist, not naturally.
Time is what we will see,
in memory or reality.

We seek comfort in all that is familiar.
We, for lack of words or without a sense of place, will step back into the habits which built our reality.
A room full of books will quiet my mind.
I have flown from Toronto. A Sunday afternoon and I am at the Winnipeg Millennium Library.
This is a familiar place. So often, in the past, I have come here with my laptop or notebook and have been consumed by the empowering library silence.
I used to spend vacant afternoons writing in this space.
A room full of books will quiet the time.
The library has inspired me in the past, and it is again.
Today is a day to be grateful for places and people who inspire. We can’t always get to them, but we know they are there.
Happy Thanksgiving.

After you have toured the Canadian Museum For Human Rights, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, there is a spot where you can leave thoughts and affirmations about the world you wish to live in.
I was moved by the reflections and anonymous thoughts of total strangers.
I want to share the same world.
