Good Morning fellow travellers from Prince Edward Island, 

Crazy times we live in. But the good news is we are still living. 

Do you have time for a cuppa? 

Great. Thank you for letting me in today. 

Not sure, if you have read the recent articles but Sam Juric a digital reporter with CBC P.E.I., she has written a number of reports worth reading.

The world is on fire for change. Can I be the change? 

Our watching media allows us to social distance from the acts of injustice and racism.

I try and change the narrative and place a loved one or myself into the story and how do I feel? What am I feeling?

"I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones." -John Cage

Canada is not lily white and without its own racism. The world is filled with a history of countries feeling superior enough to conquer other lands and subjugate other peoples.  Injustice and racism, usually starting from mankind’s need to acquire power and wealth and then perpetuated by the culture of those in power.

We can’t change yesterday but we can change today which affects tomorrow. I need to be part of the change.

Each of us can stand in front of a mirror, stare into the reflection of our eyes and ask, “do I hate?” And wait for the answer? Ask, do I judge? And wait for the answer. 

“Don’t try to force anything. Let life be a deep let-go. God opens millions of flowers every day without forcing their buds.” —Osho

Where there is judgement there is no love, where there is no love, there is no hope. 

“There are times when we stop, we sit still. We listen and breezes from a whole other world begin to whisper.” —James Carroll

It is our choices... that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. - J. K. Rowling

Valerie Kaur, and other team members are establishing “revolutionary love” as a philosophy with a strong intellectual foundation and a set of practices accessible to people of all faiths and backgrounds. “Revolutionary Love” is defined as, “the kind of love that drives courageous action in our lives and in our politics.” The movement draws from different traditions and histories and attracts different faiths, humanists, and secularists to respond to escalating political and public hate, polarization, and social division

Powerful.

First Nation woman in N.S. rewrites Billy Joel’s song to reflect Indigenous issues.

She decided to rewrite the Billy Joel song We Didn't Start The Fire, changing the lyrics to focus on issues affecting Indigenous people like the Sixties Scoop, MMIWG and other deaths of Indigenous people.

Tomorrow is Father’s Day. This is a pure example of what a Dad might aspire to. Pure love for their child. 

This is LOVE.

But this says it all.

Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.” 

— Anton Chekhov

Have a wonder-full weekend. 

With love from Prince Edward Island

Bruce & Millie, a bit damp after me spraying her with the garden hose while she was chomping on new cucumber shoots! LOL

ps.

Two cows are standing next to each other in a field.

Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning."

"I don't believe you," says Dolly.

"It's true, no bull!" exclaims Daisy
