Bird Songs

Urban soundscapes assault our senses with regularity, eventually dissolving into routine and indifference. Piercing sirens, blaring horns, grating jack hammers, and jets streaking overhead weave a fabric that threatens to smoother us under a synthetic blanket of toxicity. Take pause and seek out a land unspoiled where a gentle breeze is the conductor, and oscillating leaves combine with gently rippling waters to become the symphony. Listen closely as the ornithology ensemble lend their voices from perches on high. Absorb the staccato rhythms of a woodpecker’s search as a raven’s cry blends with the haunting melodies of loons echoed across tranquil waters. Experience the subsiding tension as you truly release the sounds not entwined with your spirit. Close your eyes and breathe in these moments of forest and feather while your soul rejuvenates in this serene landscape of bird songs.

    Cove Island Beacon

    Stand above the world’s injustices and misguided leaders, and shine your light for others to follow.  Those who have lost their way will feel the warmth of your presence, and be lead to higher ground above stormy and turbulent waters. Seek out those who uplift and guide you to calm and safe harbours, like the reassurance of the Cove Island beacon.

  • Isolation

    Isolation

    Resist the temptation and directives to place nation and self before others. Search out the glowing light in others, and lift it up for all to see.  The land takes its rest from sunbaked skies, and blankets itself in quilts of white and crystal shimmer.  Be open to others and embrace the changes they also bring to our lives. We are of one family on this planet, and will only dance with the joy of acceptance when we resist the move towards isolation.

  • After the Storm

    After the Storm

    The calmness in the water of Lake of Two Rivers is interrupted by an approaching storm. The winds pick up with a sudden surge, wildlife seeks shelter in a frenzy of activity, and the skies open up with a burst of moisture. All around, the air is filled with a freshness that adds rich hues to the surrounding features. The raindrops on the branches descend slowly as if moved by unseen forces, and new life is spawned on the forest floor below. The calmness soon returns to the waters of Algonquin, and life begins again, after the storm.

    Ancient Voices

    The Great Canadian Shield not only anchors us to the original inhabitants of this vast country, but it acts as the geological glue that binds all of Canada together. We stand as one on a firm foundation, following the example of the Maple, Pine, Birch, and Sumac, as we celebrate our diversity in varied colours, shapes, strengths, and purpose. Be diligent and shield our natural heritage and traditions from all who claim to make sound environmental decisions on our behalf. Speak out with your heart. Speak out with your soul. Listen to the ancient voices.
