introducing Aggie Golightly...

aggie golightly

was a gift from my little sister;

aggie's job is to watch over me for Sandra Lynn.

since she was tasked with that, aggie has travelled to every province in Canada;

visited Alaska too many times to count,

traveled to Denver, New Orleans, and Chicago;

went into the Louisiana bayous with Cajuns;

visited Stonehenge, dipped her paws

in the waters of Bath as well as the underground Roman baths;

set herself down in South Africa;

attended a service in Westminster Abbey;

enjoyed the dusk in a sidewalk cafe in Copenhagen;

the list just goes on...

rose in autumn...

Very late in the fall of 2010,

while driving along the Miles Canyon road

I came upon this

single rose

still in bloom...

...the beauty of this rose stayed with me

and its image brings to mind

this lovely sentiment...
"Life is too short
to wake up in the morning with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right,
forgive about the ones who don't
and believe that everything
happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, take it.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said that it'd be easy,
they just promised
it would be worth it."

night and day

Intl'eyu

...is a word to describe both very early

morning or any time it is night-time dark. Fluent speakers are very clear in the pronunciation of this word and are cautious to use the word in a complete sentence as it can be construed as an insult as well.

Intl'eyu diiya?

This morning - where are you going?

"A day dawns,

quite like other days;

in it,

a single hour comes;

quite like other hours;

but in that day and

in that hour the

chance of a lifetime

faces us."
