How do we choose to travel?
What is reliable in the rain?
What is our ultimate destination,
for this time, this journey, or
this day?
We move at the speed of life.
Depending on traffic, others
may chose to follow your path,
but not your direction.

A little cold, little wet,
a little tired and yet
I am here. Still,
full of wonder.
The morning chill leaves
little to the imagination
and much less
to hope for.
Expected, perhaps, as it
always is, this time, this
season is only what
we ask of it.

The answers are far less certain
than even last week, to all those
perennial questions or solutions
you might seek.
What do you believe, or
what do you believe in?
Come Monday, you have fewer
questions than you had last week.
For a while there are less doubts
in what you believe.
Whom do you believe in,
and who believes in you?

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

My country lost a true statesman this week.
Brian Mulroney served as Canada’s 18th Prime Minister from 1984 to 1993.
Canadian politics have changed drastically since the Mulroney era, and over my lifetime. Certainly the Conservative Party Mulroney once led has eroded to the point where my father’s type of conservatism no longer exists.
Depending on which side of the political spectrum you reside, opinions of the man’s legacy will differ. His accomplishments, however, on the global, social, and environmental scale are all worthy of note.
Mulroney cared about Canada.
Our country is better off from his presence.
Rest in peace.
Brian Mulroney
1939 – 2024
