the sailors called the sirens beautiful
they wept, tearing out their hair
and tossed it in to the ocean
turning into sea weeds. .
.
the sailors called the sirens beautiful
who hid themselves in caves, till they passed
their skin growing pale and lifeless
till feathers emerged from their hands. .
.
the sailors called the sirens beautiful
who mutilated their legs
and scarred their feet
so they would no longer be human. .
.
the sailors called the sirens beautiful
the creatures wailed as loud as they could,
screeching noises, ringing
sounded only like bells to men. .
.
the sailors called the sirens beautiful
they didn't see beauty or sin
instead,
walking vessels
and a prize to win. .

When you get lost somewhere what do you do?
Well, I refused to use a GPS whiles on Gabriola island. Consequently, I got lost in this forest and rather than panicking, I took a moment to meditate and enjoy the quietness, the chirping of the birds and the smell of the earth. It also low key reminded me of #Ghana.
Remember, the best asset we have for making a contribution to the world is ourselves. If we underinvest in ourselves, and by that I mean our minds, our bodies, our spirits, we damage the very tool we need to make our highest contribution. - Greg Mckeown
More often than not, in our haste to do and achieve more, we neglect our mental and physical health without realising it. Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup. So, make time for yourself. Get away from the noise. Go for a run at sunrise by the beach, or for a walk through the forest and if none of these are around, just turn off your lights cross your legs and enjoy the silence. Calm.
Happy holidays Everyone!
Namaste .

I'm at this weird point in my life where suddenly I'm not so shy anymore.

I would like to share a photo that was taken last week.
I have no idea where he brought it from, but it was a huge meal for him( a lingcod?) I noticed him eating at the beach I was behind him so I walked up quietly.
Finally I made it to a shady spot beside of him. He still didn't notice me because he was focused on eating his special meal. Also the back light helped me to be invisible.
The distance was almost 2m ( 7ft). #gabriola #gabriolaisland #nanaimo #nanaimobc #explorenanaimo #explorevancouverisland #sharecangeo #wildlifephotography #wildlife_shots #nature_of_our_world #wildlife_captures #wildlife_in_bl #wildlife_in_bl #bcwildlife #wildlifebcn #otters #ottersofinstagram #otterlovers #otterlove #wildlifeonearth #salishsea #all_animals_addiction #animalkingdom #wildlifephotographic#wildlifeig #wildlifepage #wildlifecentral #centralvanisle #wildlifeperfection #all_animals_addiction
“Come then, let them out of their prison,” said Matthias, enjoying the joke, and at the same time calling all the inhabitants to assist at the entertainment. .

Broad, who looked upon it as a common occurrence, stood in the middle of the palace square, and putting his hands to his sides, began to cough. Then—it was really a sight worth seeing—at each cough horsemen and horses fell out of his mouth, one over the other, plunging, hopping, jumping, trying who could get out of the way the quickest. The last one had a little difficulty in getting free, for he somehow got into one of Broad’s nostrils and was unable to move. It was only by giving a good sneeze that Broad could release him, the last of the royal cavaliers, and he lost no time in following his companions at the top of his speed. .
