Immigrant Backstory: Every Chance We Get (with photos)
When all I was thinking was seeing the lights again, here was life pulling me to another even bigger adventure!
Pre-Dawn
I sit awake in bed and my mind races through lists of things to do. It’s interesting how I’m not one to count numbers but I do like getting things done.
Love, the Deep Kind
It seeps into your very being, digs down into your core. It holds your heart to a promise and braces you through the cold.
Oh? Canada?
Before the thought of moving to Canada occurred the thought of seeing the Northern Lights somewhere else.
The World is a Quiet Place
The noise, the hustle, the bickering of people are man-made intrusions into a world that beats its own rhythm.
Value
I began to choose what I bought, what I did and who I met and spoke with. It helped that, in my teens, many things became sparse in my life.
Keep
If you were to make and keep a few promises, at least make sure most of those would be promises to yourself.
Don’t
Don’t try to impress me with castles
Don’t try to buy me with gold
My heart belongs to the loveless
I seek the grains of mysteries
not prophecies foretold

I Don’t Need This
Of utmost importance is the understanding that time and effort are valuable. When we begin to see how much these two are worth, then we get a sense of what to demand of the things that warrant our attention.
