- Flocks of juncos crowd a silent soundscape. Grey fogcloud over the sea. A still day awaits the arrival of learners for the art of hosting. #
- A beautiful diamond clear morning. Art of Hosting day 3 on Bowen Island begins. Minds and hearts cooking. #
- Another beautiful day dawning. Off to see the Whitecaps tonight. Finn will be a flag bearer. Thence to Ontario for Thanksgiving with family. #
- Stunning day driving thru southern Ontario. Red maples, blue sky, gorgeous clear night sky around the fire. Family, homeland and thanks. #

- Uploaded a paper outlining some of my current practice on participatory community engagement, esp. with First Nations: http://bit.ly/bRwkFa #
- Formalizing hitch hiking on Bowen Island, BC : http://bit.ly/dtljKB #bowenLIFT #
- Working at the Nanaimo Convention Centre. Very nice rooms, high ceilings, big windows, good food, friendly service. Nice surprise! #
- Autumn breaks clear and calm, a dawn of orange light and crisp air. Our island's ours again! #
- Soft rain, cool air, invitation to warmth. #
- When the forecast says "Rain, heavy at times" it significantly understates what is happening outside right now. Deafening at times, perhaps. #
- Dark calm after the rain. A lone cricket in the very early morning stillness. #
- Soccer victories all round. Last night Team Black 5-2 (Caitlin and Chris both scored), today Bowen Bears 3-1 (Finn kept a clean sheet!) #

- Good steady rain fills our creeks with whispers that will bring our salmon home. #
- RT @JustASpur: The most bizarre penalty ever? And it resulted in the keeper's team being knocked out of the Cup! http://youtu.be/0MaLGdC3als #
- Arrived in Kuujjuaq…very warm here in this dusty northern Quebec town. Busy place and lots of blackflies around too. #
- Eating hummus and rice crackers at the Kuujjuaq Inn while designing a meeting with polar bear hunters. Incongruous is how the North does it. #
- Stunning morning in Kuujjuaq. No wind and a bright blue sky with a hard sun to warm the inukshuks around town. #
- Facilitating a meeting in Kuujjuaq which is happening mostly in Inuktitut is an interesting thing to be doing on a Tuesday morning. #
- Strained my neck staring up at the northern lights tonight in Kuujjuaq. Stunning bright curtains of silent light twisting around Jupiter. #
- Just back from a morning picking berries on the tundra, eating bowhead muktuk and listening to hunters talk about polar bears. Good meeting. #
- Another clear and sunny morning in Kuujjuaq. Heading to Montreal this evening, 900 miles south and a world away. #
- Back in cold and rainy Montreal for the night before heading home tomorrow with a bunch of crowberries and a song about picking them. #
- Back to Vancouver but missed the ferry cutoff by 4 minutes so stuck in Horseshoe Bay for 2.5 hours. Grrr. #
- Back home on Bowen. Is it raining? Yes it is! Dripping from a flat grey sky. #
Share:
- Sore all over from 2.5 hours of soccer with people half my age. Oh but what fun! #
- Rain is back in earnest. A good day for baking bread and splitting wood. #
- Added Bernie DeKoven's Pointless games (http://bit.ly/aVooEh) to my facilitation resources page: http://bit.ly/1BF6WH #
- RT @CreatvEmergence: It's not structure vs. flow…it's about creating new structures that liberate, rather than inhibit, flow. <~~ YES! #
- Deer are bleating on the road. Got a cord of firewood split. Little kids off to school. Busyness comes to the island. #
- A beautiful late summer dawn. The sea is the colour of red wine. #
- Added the Ultimate Guide to Anecdote Circles (http://bit.ly/b6yaef) to my facilitation resources page: http://bit.ly/1BF6WH #
- Wow…my Grade 1 teacher just send me a friend request on facebook. That was 36 years ago. Hooray for connections! #
- A little chill in the morning air makes the warmth if my sleeping bag a beautiful cocoon. #
