The Photo Theory: “We don’t take photos to remember how things looked, we take them to remember how they felt…They are proof of the life we lived and memories we can’t return to.”
This moment, this northern lights show, on November 12, 2025 truly left me awestruck. And grateful. For where I live. The place I get to call home. The ability to walk out my door and witness the magnificence of nature. The safety and security I have here. It also inspired this poem. 💚
Awestruck
In a world that can feel overwhelming and heavy,
may you be awestruck…
by nature,
with the magic of a sunset,
a moonrise or a sky full of stars.
by kindness,
compassion and support,
in neighbourhoods and communities.
by peacewalks,
and resistance songs;
people rising together for change.
by the resolve,
of those who keep showing up
with heart, authenticity and love.
by yourself,
as you become confident
in shining your light, your way.
by simple moments,
often taken for granted
when peace and safety ground us.
may you be awestruck…
