green succulent plant
white statue of a young girl
next to a blue chair

Spinach, tomato
olive, cream cheese linguini
on a yellow plate.

Time is measured in
Battlestar Galactica.
I must go outside.

Going to Portland
to visit dear Toby Craig
is my plan for spring.

haiku march 29 2011

raindrops magnify
bright city-coloured lights
on the bus window

---

there are six of us
two are red with white laces
and four are black boots

---

25 cent peep shows
neon lights on granville street
curiousity

---

you make my heart feel
excited and deeply calm
all at the same time

---

haiku

My camera isn't working so I am left to express the beauty in the world through poetry instead of photography.

without camera
i use haiku to capture
beauty everywhere

---

yellow stove light
lunch looks so cosy and warm
in cool grey daylight

---

heap of white tulips
left on the alley ground glows
in misty streetlight

Full Moon on Caprica

Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada
January 2011
Architect - Arthur Erickson

I've been watching Battlestar Galactica lately and some if it is filmed at my university. It is strange to see campus become Caprica. It did not look this beautiful on the show.

Light Bounced Everywhere

Vancouver, Canada
March 2011

I took a walk downtown today at 7am. The sun was shining bright through very grey, dark clouds. The pavement was wet and reflective and light bounced everywhere. It was a beautiful morning to be alive and beautiful city to be alive in.

Life

Vancouver June 2010

That was then and this is now.

Vancouver February 2011

It hard for me to accept when other people don't follow the rules and values I want them to. It is hard to accept that everything can change in one morning and I have to give up control. 2011 has left me with a lot of questions and growing to do. An old friend says that life (and love) are sadness and beauty. Truth.

Today's Favourite Links

+ Madeleine Albright on TED Talks. The last line is particularly wonderful.

Daily Musings
+ Everyone on Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman has to learn things the hard way.
