sometimes if i look hard enough
i can see a future glimpse of myself,
nothing extraordinary, but nothing ordinary.

walking back home

It took a week or so, but somehow
i shed all those things that had been
cluttering my mind, my heart.....

everything is new, well at least clean, perhaps
even pure, ironically the shoes i wore on this
stroll had the word pure written on it's sole

i believe this has left my soul pure...

shall we run away

your path

I have never been one to follow
or take a path because it was easier?
wouldn't it be great if we each had little arrows that
pertained to us"nadia go this way and then that way"

Recently I realized that somehow I had become a follower
of some sort. I have learned a few things, some of it at very early age
that if someone wiser than you has gone down that path and said
that it is not a good one-just don't go and if someone is slowing
you down and pointing to direction that only works for them-
go find that arrow with your name.oh and nadia run!

Tomorrow I will share with you a tale
of two city's the one i am from and the
one i Iive in

the courtyard, the girl and the tree

Earth and how we see it.

I would like to talk about the photograph right below

I was in old montreal as you know; cobblestone streets, historical buildings charm at every step, I have always been fascinated with alleyways- specially the ones where at either end you can see another building a piece of architecture, a lamppost.

I was taking this photograph because the alley way was very long and at the end of it stood a historical home with a tin green roof and behind it a church. I stood there for a very long time, it is only when viewing the photograph on my computer did I notice the trash (garbage). The reason I am
bringing it up is that yesterday was Earth Day and as you know the earth is not well and show’s no sign of getting better......so I started thinking why? this brings me back to the photograph.........we don't see it, we can't see passed the sunshine, blooming trees, flowers, oceans birds, we smell flowers and enjoy cool breezes. It is only those who
are close to it researching what is happening to this great planet, they are the ones visually on a daily basis seeing the destruction
of earth.

We just don't see passed the flowers, we say things like " must see the glaciers before they are gone" I know this because i have said it and done it but should we not being saying " lets find away to stop it from leaving"?

Going home

After a while you learn the subtle differences between holding a hand and chaining a soul and you learn that love doesn’t mean security and you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises. You begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open with the grace of a woman not the grief of a child and your learn to build your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain and the futures have a way of falling down in mid flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much so, you plant your own garden and decorate your own instead of waiting for someone else to bring you flowers and you will learn you can really endure that you are really strong and you have worth and you learn and learn and you learn.
