If you ever get a chance to watch this quirky movie, you won't regret it. That is, if you enjoy movies about love, connection, grief, joy, and wonder.  

The Huron Carol - Canadian Christmas Chant

Poem

Jagged peaks meet

ice-capped glaciers;

braided rivers weave 

across windswept plains.

Haiku

The last maple leaf

having let go of the branch 

second-guessed its choice.

 

Poem

What if I told you 
that the carpet of lights 
below an ascending plane
are sparks of souls, 
our ancestors visiting 
to light our way through life?

Learning All the Ways

 “It seems to me that the great pleasure of human life is not in having an opinion, but rather in learning all the ways you are wrong, and all the nuances you failed to account for, and all the truths that turned out to be not as simple as you once believed. And it seems to me that one of the central pleasures of attending school is that you get to read with really well-informed people who can help welcome you into a complex world stuffed with rich and maddening ambiguity.”

— John Green

Haiku

Old rickety steps

each step strewn with leaf debris

leading nowhere new.

Doing God's Work

Matthew 25:35-40 - New Living Translation

35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 

36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’

37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 

38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 

39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,[a] you were doing it to me!’

Haiku

Last plucked from the vine,

summer's juicy gift lingers

destined for my tongue.

Haiku

The sky flows towards 

upended kayaks resting

on the inlet shore.
