See the world as a wondrous but fragile environment, where respect abounds for all its creatures. With eyes focused, truly listen to others. Let them know that you are present and attentive to their concerns and dreams. Have empathy and compassion for those who seek refuge, and may not possess the material goods needed for health and well being. Wrap these in your subconscious, for they are the true signs of wisdom.

Breaking waves caress the inhabitants of distant shores in hypnotic rhythms. Pebbles glisten and turn, becoming one with the smooth and rippled sand beneath them. A lone Pine clings to all that supports it, and life continues on Huron’s shores.
Brush strokes record this primal land in ways unseen before. Colour and textures are borrowed from the landscapes with imaginative flare, as thoughts of profit are replaced by the appreciation of nature’s priceless gifts. Seek the patience and understanding of names such as Thomson, Jackson, and Harris, as you pass through these lands. Their memories live forever in brief moments bathed in sunlit splendour and cloud shrouded mystery. Take time to pause, reflect, and admire this gift presented to all of us by the painter.
Early snow brings pause to all who ply these waters. The call of geese overhead reminds me of the passing season, and the gentle approach of the next. Memories return to summer morns, and carefree paddles on mist shrouded lakes. Without the return of melting warmth, we are only left awaiting spring.
Contrasting colours combine in a fleeting, ancient vision. Whether we find ourselves in the shadows, or illuminated by the light, our island will anchor us all in strength, respect, and purpose. Do not underestimate the power of diversity.
