10am
Driving home, blurry-eyed.
Mind on my own problems.
Slowly the fact that traffic seems to slow at every over pass tickles into my over active mind.
Slowly the fact that every over pass holds an emergency vechicle.
Police.
Fire.
Ambulance.
Families in minivans are camped out on the side of the service road running parrallel to the highway.
At the site of the Canadian Flag my brain finally catches up with my eyes.
I'm traveling the Highway of Heroes.
Today two of our soldiers are being repatriated.
People are showing their support.
Solidarity.
Instantly tears welling in my eyes, quickly spilling down my cheeks.
Ten minutes ago I was worried about now what seems like small insignificant problems.
The tears didn't stop until I got home.
Addressed with style, elegance and composure. Welcome back.

ReplyDeleteSo listen, I started a collaborative blog called Chocolate For Aphrodite which is different women writing on the issues of sex and how they define themselves through the different sexual situations they put themselves in. I was wondering if you were by any chance interested.
If so, go ahead and drop me and check it out:

read a couple of the entries to get a vibe for it, then you can send me an email at libertad22mj at hotmail dot com with your gmail address to send you an invite so you can write whenever you'd like. :)
Hope to see you around here soon, I miss your writing.
