Posted this poem on my blog exactly two years ago... seems timely to share it again considering what’s going on in Canada atm.... ⠀⠀ in my history books grade four, maybe five their skin the colour of copper their eyes a lot like mine. secretly, i took solace in knowing we shared a name but still i felt shame in the word indian just the same. some pointed out i was brown, not red saying that was better instead but to me that went to show they measured us in colours not what lies below. later on i came to understand i married a white man you see and he told me of the weeds tangled up in his family tree. boy, was i angry that night i was hurt to the core the words of his grand-père sprung from the dead those words, they stung me cause brown or red deep down i’m human you see. i cried and i thought “how can one buy into these lies they’re taught?” i pulled them out by morning i pulled out those weeds there’d be no way my children would learn prejudice like this. instead i’m growing kindness understanding and empathy. rest assured, there’s hope for all in the seeds i’ve sowed they’ll grow tall like sunflowers with deep roots below. ⠀⠀ Search “root soup” on the blog for the entire post. : : : : : : #wetsuwetenstrong #indigenous #indigenouspeople #indigenousrights #humanrightsviolations #istandwithindigenouspeople #genocideincanada #istandwithwetsuweten #waterislife #protectourlands #biggerpicture #mmiw #waterprotectors #landprotectors #whataboutthenextgenerations #racism #teachmemyhistory #climatecrisis #canada #worlddayofsocialjustice #alloppressionisconnected

It just occurred to me that not only are we coming to a year’s end but these are the last days of this decade... the second one of a century that still feels new to me. This is how time goes... stealthily and quickly, while we’re busy with our ordinary lives not noticing. Hope you are making the best memories! 💙 : : : : : : : #foodforthought #byebye2019 #aquietstyle #anordinarylife #myquietbeauty #lifeandthyme #smallmomentsofcalm #thesimpleeveryday #thebeautyofsimplethings #myseasonaltable #eattheseasons #wintermood #christmasiscoming #desiblogger #mtlmoments #montreal #514shots #montrealphotographer #darktablemood #moodygrams #ihavethisthingfordarkness #eatlocal #marketdays
