Sickness is ugly.It smells bad. It keeps you in pain. It keeps you bedridden. It keeps you dependent. It won’t let you sleep at night. It forces you into medical intervention. It cancels one pain with another pain. It makes you appreciate the better days.
Citește mai departeI missed going out so.The second summer in a row. After a gruesome year and a half, The provinces are finally ready to open their gates to each other again. English and French speakers can now meet and go out together. I find myself on a terrace in Downtown Montréal, Enjoying a mojito cocktail with my Québécois friends. It’s a perfect day, and the mojito in my cocktail refreshes all my senses. The other patrons are cheerful, The staff is friendly. There is an all-hugging good vibe and a feeling of ethereal happiness in the fair city of Montréal. Such a simple thing, like a drink on a terrace, used to be an unacknowledged privilege, And now it’s appreciated like a cherished treasure. The normal is on the horizon, Impatiently awaited and soon to be welcomed back. ~~~~~~~~~~ From my book
Citește mai departeI love coming back to Niagara Falls every year.I have seen the majestic waterfalls each season – spring, summer, autumn, winter. It’s oven hot to see it in the summertime and hell freezing in the wintertime, But worth seeing it, nonetheless. Every time I see Niagara Falls, I discover it in a new light, And I see it with different eyes. The ever-present rainbow adorns the falls no matter the season, Like a loyal friend and companion who never goes away. I am on the Canadian side, And I gaze at the American waterfall. I am on the American side, And I gaze at the Canadian waterfall. The place I fell in love with from the very first time I set foot on Niagara Parkway is where the iconic waterfall goes straight down the river, at a ninety degrees angle. I am so close to the fall, I can touch it. Autumn is the best time of t

Citește mai departeI live by the lake.One of the Great Lakes. I wake up every morning with the view of the lake. I love taking a quiet stroll on the lakeshore. I love the park, the beach, the marina, and the lighthouse at the lake. I take the train to Downtown Toronto. I sit by the window on the left side to gaze at the lake. I watch the waves, the seagulls, the boats, the fishermen, the surfers on the lake. I watch the sunrise on the lake. I am fascinated by the vastness of the lake. I am infatuated with the beauty of the lake.

Citește mai departeOf all the beautiful places in the world,Isn’t Paris the fairest of them all? The place where you let your heart sing. Where you listen to your soul. Taking your dreams for a walk along La Seine. Touching the sky from the heights of La Belle Tour. Smiling to Mona Lisa. Praying in Notre-Dame. I don’t want Paris to be my home. If the most beautiful place in the world were my home, Then where else could I go to see the most beautiful place in the world? I would rather live away and keep it close to my heart. Paris is calling me back to embrace me again and again, And I am coming back. City of lights. City of beauty. City of love. Paris enchantant. Paris charmant. Paris mon amour. Paris je t’aime. ~~~~~~~~~~ Fr
Citește mai departeIt’s been weeks, and I haven’t written a single word.I’m going through my worst writer’s block in a long time. My heart feels empty when I don’t write. It’s been a downtime. I need to escape my writing funk. Staring at my computer screen won’t do. Getting out of the house is what works best for my written word. My inspiration awaits me out in the open. I go out to experience new things. To see new places. To feel new feelings. To write new words. I will chase it away and words will come back to me. ~~~~~~~~~~ From my book of poetry Sunset in Toronto, page 127.
