I am not sure where to start on here but I may as well post something to get us going. I am hoping to bring some interesting information; information that may make you think and ponder; information that may blow your mind; and some things you may not believe.

My days seem to be full of gardening between the showers lately, and running up and down the highway but this is something that I have wanted to experiment with for a long time. What I see around me, what I see on TV, what I hear and what I read infuriates me at times to the point of dumbfoundedness. What is happening to us? What is being done to us? Why are we so mute?

On another note:

This piece was written shortly after the verdict was read at the 'Willie' Pickton Trial in Vancouver in December of 2007.

Fallen Angels

Many years of anguish
and many tears were shed
And no one knew a thing
or that is what was said
Going about with blinders on
not ‘seeing’ what was there
Relatives were in turmoil
and in desperate despair
Through thick and thin and anger
they rallied and they spoke
Until the law they listened
and they finally awoke
The missing they were women
who did have families
Not some worthless piece of trash
to be forgotten painlessly

------------------

The sun shines on you no more
but you will shine in our hearts forever
Lost…
but never forgotten

Your life came to an end in a terrible way
And nobody noticed.
Nobody cared.

You were a mother
Your were a sister.
You were a cousin and
you were an aunt.
You were a “somebody”, who loved and lived.
