    It's not because you're always at your best
    As if the world wouldn't allow you any less
    Baby it's not the perfect picture you try and paint
    It's not the awards
    It's not the applause
    Sometimes it's the flaws

    Though you sparkle when the spotlight's on
    For me you shine the brightest when it's gone
    Those private moments when you're hiding nothing
    The struggles when you feel low
    It's what i see when you don't know
    I'm watching
    (That's what makes me love you so)

    It's how you're willing to go against the flow
    And do the right thing when you're heart says so
    It's in those moments you often forget yourself
    To cry for someone else

    To think that's weak would be so strong
    That's just what makes you strong

    That's the part that fills my heart with pride
    Till I can feel it well up in my eyes

    The above reminds me of two of the younger set, Amelia, my daughter who does many things including these extraordinary long races http://www.dreamingovertheocean.blogspot.com  and my nephew William who pursued some of his music dreams in forming a metal band in Missisuaga called Exile.http://cdbaby.com/cd/exile but has left the band now due to university.

About me...

An Albertan & Canadian, definitely a northern gal. Social worker by profession, this blog has included some of my work over 10 years in Nunavut from 2002 on. Passionate about slowing down & taking time to appreciate the beauty of the outdoors or kindness in relationships as gifts & blessings; injustices against children in situations beyond their control; my faith; Nature, experiencing the outdoors whether cycling, walking. x-c skiing or gardening, my dogs, capturing on film God's beauty, experiencing life intensely & with the senses, richness of late afternoon light, wind in my hair cycling with my dog on a beach road, couching inches from an arctic flower or alpine lichen to capture it with my camera, insight of a student's new learning, a good conversation over a coffee.
