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.

Cpl. James Hayward Arnal dedicated


















"Clearly, he was a dedicated soldier with a very promising career ahead of him," Brig.-Gen. Denis Thompson, Canada's commander in Afghanistan.

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.

A Canadian soldier was killed by a roadside explosion, the military announced on a violent day that also saw a suicide bomber blow himself up just outside the gate of the main Canadian base in Kandahar. The suicide attack outside Kandahar Airfield occurred just moments before the Canadian Forces held a solemn news conference there to announce the death of Cpl. James Hayward Arnal. Only the bomber was killed in the suicide strike. Canada's top soldier in Afghanistan lauded Arnal as a fearless fighter who had left a lucrative career in information technology to join the army. He was on his second tour of Afghanistan and had already volunteered for a third. Arnal was struck by an explosion Friday night during a foot patrol in Panjwaii district near Kandahar city. The Shilo, Man.-based Arnal was the 88th Canadian soldier killed in the Afghan mission, and the first to die in two weeks.
