When the skies dance for us, be sure to tune in
Pull up a chair, get comfy, or activate banana mode (or whatever I’m doing here)

Mikey boy, look at you all grown and dressed up, looking fly as hell. Can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I had the honour of being there for yours and Maddy’s Big Day™️. I’ll always cherish the times we had and the land we shared them on! @mccallmemichael you’re the man!

“Don’t Look Back”
.
Take a chance
Go it alone
or gather those who
make you feel at home.
.
Get your ear pierced,
or get a tattoo.
Find who you are,
you’ll feel brand new.

27 times ‘round the sun
9 with eyes blind in blissful ignorance
then 9 with eyes filled with doubt
and a back against the world
and 9 with a new view
I’d have never had a clue
that after 27 years
I could still feel so new

Belated, but elated,
7 years goes by quick.
Loved and celebrated,
A fantastic little chick.
.
Happy birthday to a special girl,
Who with a smile can rule the world.

My life changed when my Sister and Brother(in-law) brought you into our lives, you gave me reason to wake in the morning in some of the darker times in my life.
I am blessed to have had the opportunity to care for you and be your Uncle. I love you so much!
.
Keep on shining, SuperStar.
Keep on shooting I know you’ll go far.

“Reflection/Reflexive”
.
It’s not always healthy to dwell on the past, but looking back helps us remember our experiences. Good or bad, it isn’t always best to forget.
.
I have memories I cherish with friendships that have perished. But life is long and although we make mistakes and stumble and tear everyone down with us sometimes, tomorrow can still be a brighter day.
.
I’ve had a bad habit of reacting unconsciously/impulsively and it has on many occasions been a detriment to my relationships, but this is why I look down at my reflecting pond. So that I can one day be confident that my reactive words don’t seep into my loved ones like poison, like days before.
.
Take the steps.
Break the cycle.
One day at a time.
Consciously and honestly.
.

“Emergent” (i-ˈmər-jənt).
.
To break free from whatever chains be placed upon me.
With freedom to escape or remain, I am emergent.

“Ablaze”
.
Our forests and social landscapes have been going through tumultuous times. A single unsnuffed ember can go so far as lighting up the world. All it take is one spark, good or bad, to start a revolution.
.
Our lives all revolve around the cause and effect of others’ actions, so it’s time we start considering how and who we’re affecting. We’re all living our lives, let’s be thoughtful and intentional in our actions and quit living blindly before someone starts the next wildfire.

“Awakening”
.
5 June 2020
.
We gathered en masse in a time when gatherings were out of fashion. We did it to show how together we should be. In a year of distance and separation, we marched for those who could no longer.
.
Keep your eyes open, don’t shy away from discomfort. Be stronger and stand up for what’s right. Let’s grow back together.
