One of the best places to sit, write, and chat with real people! Cafés, generally, but this is one of my faves...La Belisse on Robson.

Every news bite of America's meltdown makes me get on my knees to thank the universe for the good in this beautiful country! Canada

This carrot...
...Is that The Finger...
...Or is it flashing the Peace Sign...
...Or mayhap it is dancing The Bangra...
Whatever it was, I felt terrible miropoixing the thing.

One of the bestest things in the world is buying food right at the gates of the farm it came from!

This guy is trying to tell me something...or was it a reprimand for not having food?

"Leo Taxil had a chubby, oily face ornamented with a fine moustache." - The Prague Cemetery - Umberto Eco

Morning read, Morning meditate.

Fiction before news, after all, it has all been done before, and humans survived.

Sometimes art just happens. Everything lines up for that perfect snap.
Writing a book may not be as easy, but it is just as artful.
Writers don't sign up for easy. The creative challenges, the hunger for the better, and the ache for more. That's what we are about.

Ithaka Victoria BC was better than some of the most brilliant in Greece! The best avgolemono ever!

We are what we Bee! Basically, what we feel most days. Yet they look beautiful, fly like a butterfly, and sting like a bee!

Studies suggest bees experience emotion-like states, exhibiting anxiety, pessimism, and even resilience, indicating sentience.

Nature truly heals, little friends, and swaying greenery brings out the softness in our souls.
This stuff really does smash through the armours we wear in order to survive this new world.

Ah like dis arringe hibiscus bad-bad, gyurl. Is weh yuh get it from?

Our Guyanese language is not a corruption of the English language.

In fact, it is a beautiful, lyrical amalgamation of all our histories ebbing and flowing amongst us.

The Caribbean Sea, she's got a power like no other. Gorgeous and enticing in her most tranquil turquoise hue, beckoning one into her warm embrace. Into the power of mile-high gentle waves pulling you deeper and deeper.
Beauty & danger. Irresistible.

Touring a Mayan ruin really reminds one of how less than bright we are. Modern-day humans run around thinking such silly things...like we are more evolved. The news reveals the truth of us.

Today, #writing about tropical heat, a teeming rainforest and passionate South American souls...and outside my windows is this. Writers do so love juxtaposition. We thrive on it. We create dreams when the world is stark and cold and beautiful like a snowstorm in #Vancouver #SamBacchus #CaribbeanLit

I find the most wonderful stories in old tomes, or dry as heck theses, or in the records of history. It's like walking through a museum. It's not the relics, it's the story fleshed out around it.

In Guyana there's a saying...If you drink the creek water of a place, you will never leave.

Warm sunny days, birdsong all day, golden sand, vibrant foliage, a literal green and gold paradise + fresh fruits of a thousand names, & no device need apply.

Deep forest trekking...We drank creek water from a leaf, and the guide plucked food...magical-delicious fruits and leaves and whatnot from the literal air. Oh yeah, and the fish caught themselves while we napped in hammocks under the trees by the river.

Look up, look out, all around us. These are the things that inspire me when I need a breather from whatever.
