MY SCHOOL LOVE
Emily was a dream of ethereal magnificence, her presence likened to a much needed refresher in the midst of the clamoring hallways of Willowbrook Secondary School. With her porcelain composition and eyes the shade of the morning sky, she had a brilliance that appeared to enlighten the most obscure corners of the world. Her streaming locks flowed like turned gold, outlining her sensitive highlights with a demeanor of beauty and style.

St. Boniface Cathedral
On a previous trip to Winnipeg I went with my husband to one of the iconic tourist destinations of the city. Located across from "The Forks" along the banks of the Red River the St. Boniface Cathedral is a stone ruin with an intriguing past and a surprise located within. Gutted by a fire back in 1968 which completely destroyed the interior of the great cathedral, the place is beautiful and serene with shady walks and impressive stonework. Walking up to it from the river you see high walls and a large circular hole where there was once a stain glass window. As with all ruins, from a distance and in pictures the place intrigues you - your curiosity makes you want to get closer and see the details for yourself. As we walked around this place that I had come to many occasions before my attitude and insight began to change. It was my husband's first time there and it was a different experience for me being able to see it through his eyes.

Alien influence, from space, was it good or bad?
Alien influence, from space, was it good or bad? Did extra-terrestrial aliens impose structure on humankind? There are many books that claim aliens came to this planet before recorded history and “guided” humans to build huge structures with a precision that would be hard for modern builders to copy, even with all the tools and machines we have. I have no idea if these theories are valid or not, but I wonder about the motivation of these alien visitors.
