“To Choose” ~ Choices Theme for May 2026

September 2020, Wascana Park

Conscious or not…..

Health and happiness…

Out on a limb…

Invisible responses…

Coming to terms….

Epilepsy walks…

Schedules are not…







“We don’t get to choose what is true. 

We only get to choose what we do about it.”

Birds


From above and far away I heard them

Birds!


I’ve seldom heard birds sing

these birds didn’t disappoint. 


Their twittering conversations filled 

the warm spring afternoon, 


rising above the sound of humanity 

on foot, on bicycles, 


orange mo-peds, 

shining chrome and black motorcycles, 


cars, vans and trucks washed 

in the dirt of splashing into spring


Above it all

the birds took my heart to the sky.


“The trills and trickles of song from the birds in the big tree 

above her seemed in perfect accord with her mood.”

~ L.M.Montgomery,  Anne of the Island, 1915

Strength


When clouds bubble up 

from behind the roof tops,  


I wonder if somewhere 

there is a thunderstorm or 


if they are just sitting 

quietly gathering strength. 


From the distance land to sky 

I can only wonder. 



When I work the muscles of my body, 

I feel the soft strength that is me. 


Guy wires that move my frame 

as though I were a puppet and 


I, the puppeteer. I can only wonder 

what will allow me to gather strength.



“It feels good pulling on these muscles, 

it feels better than worrying about who is watching.”

Alain Bremond-Torrent, author
