Pacific Spirit Inspiration

 

         

 

As a new year begins the magic continued today in the Pacific Spirit Park, Vancouver.

Happy New Year

 

From the beauty of Kits Beach yesterday to our last walk of the year in the magic of the Pacific Spirit Park today that was more magical than ever.

Wishing everyone a very Happy and Healthy New Year, and a special New Years Eve thank you to all of our health care heroes who have been there for us every day of 2021.

Oh Canada


 
Oh Canada, they’re back; these beautiful young maple leaves illuminated by the morning sunshine in the Pacific Spirit Park yesterday. I hope they will lift your spirits as much as they did ours

grief seeking comfort


 
More words of wisdom and comfort from the Nature Trail in the Pacific Spirit Park today that seem to speak to these dark days.
 

 

With thanks once again to Metro Vancouver BC for their inspiring and uplifting project:
 

 

“If trees could speak.”

“embraced, enriched, alive”

 

The anonymous poet of the park has inspired us once again capturing so perfectly the magic and beauty of this special place, the Pacific Spirit Park here in Vancouver. Hopefully my photos from yesterday do justice to his/her beautiful words. Thank you to whomever you are and keep inspiring us with your poetry.

 

   

 

   

 

Pacific Spirit Park.

We enter into
A pact
As we leave cars
And concrete behind.
Walk or run or bike
Into a spirit world.
Of water abundant
At this time of year.
Light diminished,
Or the bending rays of
Occasional winter sun.

I see you.
I know you’re here.
I move and listen,
Take such joy
In watching our dog
Run free.
Nodding or briefly chatting
To others,
Clad in rain gear,
Mud splattered shoes.

We join with the forest’s
spirit.
The constancy of movement.
Of air and trees,
Light and water.
Shape shifting through days,
Seasons.
Being one with
All that is here.
A companion guides us.
Embraced, enriched,
Alive.
