    i believe in connections. maybe a little whimsical, sometimes nonsensical, definitely beyond physical. a few personal experiences have fortified my claim.

    there is a boy. he is doing what boys do in a time period where the physical relied on knowledge and expertise of land and water.

    there is a girl. she is following in the path of her ancestors. gathering and acquiring experiences that will help her understand and guide her people.

    a moment, recurring, slightly revealing, an event in a daunting future. blood. chaos. traditions and identity exterminated.

    loyalty. legacy. ego. all of it is burning. seeking validation through servitude. one part honouring and another part shortsighted.

    three young minds, hearts, and decisions are to clash.

    that’s all i have for the moment. it has been a story that i have been thinking about for almost 30 years. i was inspired by an archaeological find near ottawa.

    if you know about the find, you can probably figure out the storyline as I have shared the core. the events within the story though… i really don’t think i will be tackling this idea any further.

    but, if you want to run with it, let me know and i will share some thoughts about it.

  • dare to share

    keeping things in can create detours or stagnation. and no, there is not an entire country full of male deer.

    i’m not a writer. i self-identify as a storyteller, while the two can be the same; i agree that their definitions overlap. a writer is a master of prose. the prose that i employ is completely dependent on auto-correct, thesaurus dot com, and move quotes.

    did i mention that auto-correct hates me?

    the phrase that sharing is caring has been stuck in my mind and heart for many winters. please, do not misinterpret the following. i have so many ideas, thoughts, and reflections that it weighs me down. and i need a space to shed. you just found it.

    there are a number of convenience stores located in high population areas. these high-pop stores share expenses and revenue. the revenue surplus is deposited into a bank account. the bank account funds remote or low-pop stores.

    costs distribution and revenue sharing are not new things. my idea is rooted in lowering the costs of bringing better food to remote locations.

    i honestly do not think i have time to pursue any of the ideas that i have. i have decided to save them here. maybe you will have the time to tackle these things.

    see you when i see you. 😉
