"one of the great feelings -- to stop being me for a little while, and to become us"



"I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness and a better sense of humor..." recent article by Brian Eno on the benefits of group singing - more here.

a building with no words



I'm always somewhat surprised to find this amount of public urban space without words, ads, signs, signals, logos, etc.

flames on suffolk street



This morning as I stepped out on the front porch I smelled what I thought was the neighbours' wood stoves then noticed it seemed rather foggy then realized a siren was approaching.
I followed the smoke to a house around the corner and watched as it burnt up frighteningly quickly.
As far we know no one was injured.
Time to check those smoke alarms.

remembering

My father - Colin Gordon Sutherland and his mother Ethel Mae Atkinson - in May 1943.
A portion of a letter he sent home from RCAF Overseas in July 1944.

"Everything will certainly be changed a lot when I get back - if I get back. and all that."

Grey County, May 1943

remembrance day



remembrance day

this is remembrance day
the rain's falling down
wearing november grey
we uncover lost ground

the wind it is getting cold
there's a knife in the heir
and when it all turns to snow
a new world's lying there

they say the older that you get
the better you used to be
nothing improves the past like time
i'm looking forward to a memory
i just get better
i hear the sound of no hands clappin'
i remember things
before they even happen

it's so glorious oh, so glorious

after remembrance day
the future is noo
put your hands in the cold cold clay
and make something true

they say ...
i remember things
before they even happen

it's so glorious oh, so glorious

they say...

the snow is a wedding dress
mother earth father sun
time will take it off again
and make a new one

they say the older that you get
the better you used to be
nothing improves the past like time
i'm looking forward to a memory

my eyes just keep improving
i can see over life's wall
even though it's true
i can't get focused straight at all

it's so glorious oh, so glorious
