One of the things we can do for #TruthAndReconciliation Day is to read books by Indigenous authors. Like Anna Marie Sewell's "Humane," for instance

Cover of the book, showing that it's part of VPL's Indigenous collection.

Just found out that what I thought was called Gjetost is actually accurately called Gudbrandsdalsost. Is that the one you're referring to? cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-hd6k9/imag...

Fitst time at the Nikkei Matsuri festival. This area is where you can try on traditional Japanese clothes and shoes. You can't see it here but the place is packed. And I had a nori taco.

Nori taco with deep fried nori around salmon, rice, and a few cucumber sticks

Thank you. It seems we have different styles, though ... this is from workshops I give on haiku

Guidelines you can start with:
✓ present tense
✓ something concrete (no direct philosophizing)
✓ 5, 7, 5 ok but not important
✓ probably less than 18 syllables
✓ three lines
✓ no title
✓ sparse or no punctuation
✓ not a complete sentence; try for two juxtaposed/contrasting parts
✓ focus on what’s important: as few unnecessary words as possible
✓ e.g. can you leave out a verb, an article like “a”, “the”, an
adjective like “beautiful” or adverb like “quickly?”; is “cold” already
implied in “winter”? (But don’t make it sound “me Tarzan you
Jane” stilted)

Examples of haiku you probably won’t find in a literary haiku journal
Capturing sunlight
Keeping it in a bottle
Darkness steals it back
This has three parts, and it is not a concrete moment.

Go on - steal your wings
Take 'em and fly - far away.
You deserve better.
Three parts, tells the reader how to interpret the poem. Forced 5-7-5. Unnecessary punctuation.

Your imperfection,
Perfectly suited to you.
All is imperfect.
Not concrete, purely philosophical. Repetition of words. Unnecessary punctuation

Working on a workshop about haibun. This is the image I'll use on my slides.

'Landscape with a Solitary Traveler' by Yosa Buson. A long scroll on beige paper (parchment?), Dark blue, black, and gray ink. A gnarled tree in the left foreground, a rail-less bridge over a gorge, and from it a steep path up a mountain with more gnarly trees

Path down to Secret Beach in Ch'ḵw'elhp (Gibsons) on BC"s Sunshine Coast

Steep steps through the woods down to a beach with lots of driftwood

The Sunshine Coast is really committed to Indigenous culture. All place names are in Indigenous & English. And here is an article about kelp, integrating ʔayʔaǰuθəm ʔayʔaǰuθəm (often written as Ayajuthem) is the ancestral language of the Tla’amin people. The name ʔayʔaǰuθəm means “to speak it well”

Left side of article about life in the intertilal zone shows the Tla'amin names for herring, seaweed, sea urchin, and abalone.

The text is too long to reproduce. It talks about a kelp nursery, using the Tla'amin word for kelp. I don't have the keyboard to reproduce it. The article is in qathet Living. qathet is the name for the former Powell River.

Looooong trip today, much waiting for the ferry on the Sunshine Coast. But at least I got some good pics

Ocean, islands, and mountains in the smoky distance

A smoky golden sun reflected on a calm ocean. Island in the background

A few houses nestled in a shallow bay. Otherwise just greenery, ocean, and mountains

Mild sun on the white railings of the ferry. Lots of ocean, an island, and mountains in the background

Vancouver is so beautiful. A few pics from our neighborhood #bloomscrolling

A #NoPoliticsSunday post. I like this photograph because it looks a little surreal. Great name of the flower, "Lucifer." Taken in full sunlight.

Two red Lucifer flowers, one showing the blosdom in detail, the other with its whole fern-like structure blurred in the background.

I love taking pictures of textiles

A burgundy towel, a braided rug with purple, green and white, a red cloth, a colorful cloth with red and green swirls. Looks like an abstract painting.

On her deathbed she has a few breaths left. She uses them to tell me a story. About a night in old Calgary stopping by the grain elevators, her black-and-gold polka dot dress slipped off her shoulders, his hand on second base, and oh, that kiss … #vss365
