moments for reflection


 
   
 
Moments for reflection in the Pacific Spirit Park today and there is much to reflect on. Tonight my thoughts are with the Masutta family in Surrey, BC as I send my heartfelt sympathy and condolences to Daljit and his 8 year old twin daughters who lost their mum Parmajit in a tragic accident on Tuesday that simply breaks your heart. May she Rest In Peace.

Human Rights Day


 
Today on Human Rights Day, the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at the UN General Assembly on December 10th 1948, the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called for human rights to be “front and centre”of the COVID-19 response. Also a reminder of Article 14: “Everyone has the right to seek and enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.”

leaves of love


 
Five moments of the day on the trails in the Pacific Spirit Park where, no surprise, the leaves have a new meaning for us with two that caught our eyes today.
 
   
 

six of the best


 
The Pacific Spirit Park lifts our spirits every day as I think those of you who follow the Changing Palette know only too well. Enjoy these “six of the best” from the past week as the weekend begins.
 

 
  
 
  

home sweet home


 

666 Day XLI

The leaves are now home where they will be loved, and be a reminder every day, not that I need one, of the precious children that they represent who sadly have no home and no parents to love and protect them. With the dedication and commitment however of all those working so hard to reunite the families we can only hope that the day will come when that love and protection will be possible once again.

666 – the final 15

The final fifteen together with their neighbours.

 

 

The final fifteen leaves in position at 7:30 this morning.

Tomorrow, look for the completed piece and a few final words of appreciation.
