- A beautiful morning. Off to Langley to share reflections with churches I've been working with on how their practice of community matters. #

- The rarest gift of this place is the sweet and humid coastal air of a glorious spring morning. #
Long week here in Calgary and happy to be finally homeward bound. Starting with a quick flight over the mountains to Vancouver, train downtown, cab to Horseshoe Bay, followed by a ferry ride to Bowen and a quick ride home.
Behaviour change is not the same as culture change.
That is all.
A poem from my travels this week in Calgary
What we were trying not to see
Behind us a cloud rimmed
By the electric light of a prairie spring’s
Sharp sunset casts a glow
On the towers downtown.
In that moment of reflection
A small truck carrying a small boat
Bolts over the Louise Bridge
Takes a hard right on Memorial Drive
And stops by the new sculpture
Full of quotes about war and loss.
“they’ve been pulling bodies from the Bow”
My companion says and I peer into
What little I can see of the churning
Waters below, wondering for a moment
How anyone could find anything as
Humble as a body in that flow.
Behind us the sun bends below the horizon
And the clouds clasp together to cloak
The twilight’s fading.

- You might feel this long grey spring is endless but in the close view of the present moment it is as temporary and as eternal as everything. #
- Just realizing I'm actually too busy to do everything I need to be doing. What gets dropped? Not my kids, that's for sure. #
