a quote

which i'd like to share...

may the sun
bring you new energy by day,
may the moon
softly restore you by night,
may the rain
wash away your worries,
may the breeze
blow new strength into your being.
may you walk
gently through the world and know
its beauty all the days of your life.
-apache blessing.

nature in all her simplicity..St.Hilaire

Some images of St.Bruno

I've been remiss and not included photo's for a while, hope to make up for this..
Photo's of St.Bruno, and Chez Patrice.


My first taste of absynthe..

reflective...tastes quite strong, of course I drank it turkish style, water on the side..can understand why people became addicted.

a portion of Chez Patrice's ferme..kamouraska river.

mirror image me, thought some might like to remember the way I look..clay pot in the background for roast pork with organic plums in vinegar...always food...or..
nature..

towards sunset...rainy day.

same day around the same time different place

evening same day with moon

night...same day.


and Fin..very very nice,great people, i like fires..if a bit cold..

passing years

at times i'm tired of searching and want to rest,
to lean against your warmth
and succomb to the temptation of giving in.
yet, where are you?
you exist, that i know,
if only once found,
i had the means of keeping you.

a lesson remembered

The only thing that I really remember from algebra is that two negatives make a positive..that is a practicality that can be applied to real life as well. Sometimes it takes experiencing something that is "negative" in energy or force in order to find something "positive". Once you've overcome something that has left you tired or drained, you usually find that life isn't so bad, or in my case I'm always amazed to see that I can make good friends so easily. They open their doors for me, and let me into their lives and their friends as well, just when I feel the world is going to hell in a hay basket (sorry for the non native english readers), life turns around with a small gift, thank you. So perhaps this is nature's way of sometimes shifting our perspective a bit...

nature's orchid

hidden away,too small
but for those, who look for it.
a flush of pink-
delicate,
my finger gently probes its surface,
gliding softly
between two petals,
unguarded
it opens.

peace

the sun sets softly.
pink and purple
spread over the sea
in low tide.
reflections in the sand,
create an illusion of space-
where does one end and the other begin?
peace but for the mosquitos,
peace and the mating call of frogs.
resting high up on the mountain,
slowly we sip Cinquante
as night comes upon us.
