On the surface it looks like one red pepper among many in the grocery store.
But I’d like to imagine it’s a moment where I hit pause on a noisy planet for a few seconds and focus on the one thing that matters:
Quiet, uninterrupted simplicity.

There are days when you just want to mash the throttles and join your friends in the skies for some death-defying moments.
Bonus points if you make a ton of noise and leave some reality-distorting jelly behind.

Some days don’t call for words.
Some days it makes more sense to say nothing and listen more.
Some days the only answer is to stand beside the slowly flowing waters.
In a place like this.

I’ll miss the red.
The quiet endings of leaves floating to the ground one last time, gathering in the grass, scattering in the wind.
The long wait for vibrancy to return.
The defiance of a single young tree fighting to survive on a wide open plain.

Some gave all. They fought for this leaf and all it represents.
Freedom isn’t automatic. Nor is it immune from the forces that would extinguish it.
Saying thank you one day a year feels like the bare minimum. Even then, it’s not enough.

50 years to the day since the SS Edmund Fitzgerald was lost with all 29 hands, we still don’t know why.
So every time we stand on the shores of Lake Superior, we let the waves reach out to us from the mysterious depths.

I stare out the window of an ancient factory, and see an imperfect pillar of an imperfect town, where everyday people just tried to get by, sacrificing their todays in pursuit of better tomorrows.
It was never supposed to be easy or comfortable or even fair.

The mission is simple: find colour. And on this day, the forest cooperates.
But it doesn’t always. Some days it serves up no colour at all.
Which would be perfectly acceptable, too.
Because the journey wouldn’t shine as it does if we always knew what to expect.

Thick clouds choke the sky as day slowly gives way to night. The sun is nowhere to be seen, but its influence is felt all the same.
We can’t always see the forces shaping our lives here on the ground. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t there.
So still we look up.

These maple leaves, like all good Canadians, wear their scars, yet still hang on with quiet defiance.
Soon enough, they’ll lose the battle and fall to the forest floor. But their story won’t end there, as they’ll stand ready to nourish the next generation.

The leaves on the trees have mostly fallen, the stragglers clinging to the branches in one last act of quiet defiance.
In so many ways, the story is over. Yet as one chapter ends, another is getting underway.
We’ll have to return to this place, then.

Under a busy bridge that connects both sides of the university’s campus, a quiet spot overlooks the lazy river.
Two realities play out, unaware, within metres of each other. I wonder what would happen if more of us took the time to change where we stand.

Early on a chilly Sunday morning, I roll the bike out of the garage and quietly set out on empty roads.
The snows will come soon enough, but for now there are still places to go, and days like this to hold onto.
So we ride. And remember what it felt like to be out there.

It’s still a beautiful game, still a beautiful team.
Filled with players, coaches, staff who aren’t just great at the sport, but great at life.
And maybe the ending wasn’t what the country had hoped for, but the journey was magical all the same.
Canada is grateful.

The universe left this leaf in my path, so before long I found myself crouched on the worn wooden planks for a closer look.
Sometimes we just have to stop what we’re doing. Sometimes we have to get a little dirty in the process.
It’s always worth it.

When a single monarch braved the winds over the burning hot sands of a local beach last summer, I thought it would be fun to follow it around for a bit.
There was no real point to any of this: it simply brought me joy.
I hope it has the same effect on you.

It’s 11:20 p.m. on a lonely stretch of Wharncliffe Road.
The traffic lights reflect off the worn paint, mindlessly flipping from green to yellow to red. A tedious dance playing out to no one in particular. A story with no audience, repeating itself endlessly.

It won’t be long before the forest loses its roof, before the leaves that shade and protect this place fall back to earth.
It happens every year, of course, but it still feels like an ending of one chapter, and the start of a colder, more exposed one.

You made us parents, taught your siblings that older brothers are always there for them, and grew into a remarkable husband and father - the kind of human every parent wishes their kid would become.
Happy 31st, Zach. Love you limitlessly.
