My Chinese friend Da Lin, was looking at the old ornaments (which were hung from the tree with care) when he said “we hang decorations too, but they are all new”.
None of this looking back but instead looking forward – a chance to correct the wrongs of the past instead of repeating those mistakes. They got it right.
Let’s wave and say “Ni hao (nee how),”
Let’s wave and say “Ni hao.”
Let’s say “hello” to all our friends,
Let’s wave and say “ni hao.”
Chinese dragon, Chinese dragon,
Breathing fire, breathing fire,
Happy, happy new year,
Happy, happy new year,
Gung hay fat choy,
Gung hay fat choy.
Goodbye. Hello.

The building blocks of life contain not only family but loved ones, neighbors, acquaintances and adversaries. Here, a neighborhood in Laval, Québec celebrates their world.
(I think the dance should have been choreographed to reflect more of “the street” and not look like it was a Sunday School picnic but….what do I know?)

Precious Declaration – Collective Soul – 1997
Precious Declaration – Collective Soul – lyrics
Hitched a ride to the peaceful side of town
Then proceeded where thieves were no longer found
Can’t crash now I’ve been waiting for this
Won’t crash now I found some encouragement
Precious declaration reads
Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now
Precious declaration says
I believe all hope is dead no longer
New meanings to the words I feed upon
Wake within my veins elements of freedom
Can’t break now I’ve been living for this
Won’t break now I’m cleansed with hopefulness
Precious declaration says
Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now
Precious declaration says
I believe all hope is dead no longer
Once I jumped through hoops of fire
High and far as you required
I was blind but now I see
Salvation has discovered me

It’s not much of a stretch to believe Jackie Wilson is singing praises of love and joy to something beyond….
This dude, from Detroit, had one tragic, albiet interesting, life.

If there’s one thing I love it’s a good story. Especially this one read by Fireside Al which has become a Christmas staple for many. Not only air force brats like myself.
C’mon – take some time out, relax and just listen. That’s all. Chillax!
The Shepherd – Frederick Forsyth – read by Alan Maitland from CBC Radio

It’s one thing to stand at speakers corner and ramble on and on about how you’d love to change the world. It is quite another to actually do something about what ails us.
Do you think we are incapable?
