There’s no logical reason for a grown man to get on the hotel room floor for a spontaneous photo shoot involving an electrical outlet and a floor lamp power cable.
But no one ever said life - or the stories we tell - had to be conventional.

Now that #TikTok has survived to fight another day in both the U.S. and Canada, let's take a closer look at the supposed national security concerns that touched it all off. My latest article takes a sobering look at where we are, and how we got here.

TikTok is saved. What does that really mean to us?
By all measures, TikTok had a pretty decent week last week.

At 10:53 p.m., the cloudy sky glows stubbornly, refusing to give in to the night.
I’m sure it’s just little more than a spooky-looking tree against a weirdly-lit sky, but it never hurts to stand in silent respect for all that keeps us from harm.

It doesn’t take much to make her happy. Just hook up her leash and head out into the snow.
Out here, nothing matters to her beyond playing relentlessly until she decides it’s time to head back.
It’s a pretty inspiring way to live.

On a grey October day, the muted colours of the canopy above bounce off of the mirror-like surface below, one last blast of the season before they, too, fade to grey.
It was like this then. It never will be again.

Our social media feeds are clogged with 2016-themed throwbacks - yet we seem to be misunderstanding the risks inherent in a seemingly innocuous online trend. My latest article explains.

As the 2016 trend rages, is digital nostalgia getting us into trouble?
It’s easy to understand the appeal of massively popular social media trends. They’re somewhat fun, they make us feel part of something…

Planet Earth has become particularly noisy. Some might say overwhelmingly so.
So we look for the quiet. In places where the fallen snow gently turns down the volume.
If only it could last longer.

At a busy downtown Toronto crosswalk, drivers graciously look out for a single pedestrian.
Because humanity works better, apparently, when we look out for each other.

As a child, I stared up at tall buildings reaching for the sky more than was likely healthy.
I don’t think much has changed now that I’m an adult.
Probably just as well.

As a winter storm paints the river valley in thick white, tiny patches of floating ice barely ripple the mirror-like surface.
A profound silence settles over the deep woods, a reminder, perhaps, to slow down and enjoy it all before it melts.

This is how we once kept in touch.
Mostly gone now.
Yet every once in a while, the past whispers to us from a shadowy, forgotten corner.
An echo, perhaps, of the indelible connections we once made.
And still do, if we’re lucky.

On a garbage-strewn stretch of downtown #Toronto sidewalk, two birds stand still and silent, ignored by the endless knots of city dwellers rushing to whatever it is that fills the day.
My gut tells me something isn’t quite right. My heart hopes I’m wrong.

The forest dances in the bitter cold, life thriving in a place seemingly hostile to it, a story visible only to those who choose to observe it.
So we stand quietly as the winds sing songs in our ears and slap us in the face, and we do just that.

The winds have been busy, carving abstract scenes in the snows at our feet.
None of this will last. It’s only a matter of time before all this disappears.
I wonder who will remember it. And whether they’ll smile when they do.

At the exact moment the sun slips below the horizon, it shines a single pillar of light high into the fiery sky.
Science says it’s a sun pillar, a brilliant reflection off the high clouds in the atmosphere.
But I’d like to imagine it’s a little bit of magic, too.

A single berry clings desperately to a single branch. What normally reaches for the sky is now weighed down to the vertical by the thick ice.
Within hours, the temperature will soar, the ice will melt, and the entire thing will bounce back high above.
Nothing lasts.
