An opening of one's knowledge,capabilities, vision and guidance. The Kenaz is about creating a relationship,learning and allowing room for interpretation. When you are in the darkness,an opening with light is the best and most gracious thing to have bestowed upon you. This is a great time for putting energies into new opportunities. Come share my world as I see it.

Canadian soldier comes home to be buried


















"ONE spake amid the nations,‘Let us cease
From darkening with strife the fair World’s
light,
We who are great in war be great in peace.
No longer let us plead the cause by might.’

But from a million British graves took birth
A silent voice--the million spake as one--
‘If ye have righted all the wrongs of earth,
Lay by the sword! Its work and ours is
done.’-Poem entitled, "DISARMAMENT" by Canadian poet-John McCrae, more famous for his poem-IN FLANDERS FIELDS"

I found this fitting song composed by MacPhee, Schram, Howe in my files simply entitled "Ode To The Canadian Soldier "and uploaded to imeem. Please give a listen. The lyrics pay tribute to the men and women who are "Fighting for freedom and staying the course.

Trooper Richard Renaud-Died January 15 after the Coyote armoured reconnaissance vehicle he was riding in was struck by a roadside bomb. Renaud had been part of a routine patrol in the Arghandab district of Kandahar province, about 10 kilometres north of the city of Kandahar, when the blast occurred. The 26-year-old from Alma, north of Quebec City, was a member of the Valcartier-based 12e Régiment blindé du Canada, informally translated as the 12th Canadian Armoured Regiment. To date, 77 Canadian soldiers and one diplomat have been killed in Afghanistan since the mission began in 2002.
