“I find comfort in contemplating the sunflowers,” Vincent Van Gogh.
I hope this bouquet gives comfort to all those grieving and suffering across the world tonight, with special thoughts and condolences to the parents of 3 year old Alexandra Najjar who was shielded by her mother after the explosion in Beirut but sadly died in hospital two days later. Just one story among so many but one like all the others that breaks our hearts.Uncategorized

rays of hope

Twin rays of sunshine bringing hope in the Pacific Spirit Park today to celebrate the Biden/Harris winning ticket on a day that we remember Heather Heyer murdered on the streets of Charlottesville three years ago today by a white supremacist. In her own final words posted on Facebook “If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention”. I’ve been outraged and paying attention ever since.

a fallen frontline hero

I took this photo at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial dedicated to the Canadian soldiers who fell at the battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917. Today I would like to dedicate it to a fallen colleague who was murdered on a modern day frontline in his walk-in clinic in Red Deer, Alberta. I did not know Dr. Walter Reynolds but I have no doubt he was as much a hero to his patients as the soldiers who gave their lives in Northern France all those years ago. I send my deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to his family, patients, colleagues and friends. I know we are all grieving with them. Dr. Reynolds and his family were very much in our thoughts as we walked today in the Pacific Spirit Park here in Vancouver.
