Walking away is not an option... dialogue must prevail.
"A good listener tries to understand what the other person is saying. In the end he may disagree sharply, but because he disagrees, he wants to know exactly what it is he is disagreeing with." - Kenneth A. Wells
"I do not want the peace that passeth understanding. I want the understanding which bringeth peace." - Helen Keller
I haven't been feeling the writing bug bite me lately, although skeeters have decided I'm quite the delicacy, but I wanted to put this out there for anyone that just might need a smile.
A Facebook friend had this video in her links and it made me giggle. Since tonight is So You Think You Can Dance performance night, how apropos! *wink*

I am Canadian. No matter where life may take me, this will remain a big part of who I am.
"I am a Canadian,
free to speak without fear,
free to worship in my own way,
free to stand for what I think right,
free to oppose what I believe wrong,
or free to choose those who shall govern my country.
This heritage of freedom
I pledge to uphold
for myself and all mankind."
Extract from the Canadian Bill of Rights - July 1, 1960

People like my father...
and
Our Armed Forces
"Our hopes are high. Our faith in the people is great. Our courage is strong. And our dreams for this beautiful country will never die." Pierre Elliott Trudeau
I will listen (technically I will read as this is not an audio blog) to your opinions... I may not agree and be aware that I will let you know when I disagree... as you are welcome to do the same.
There is no singular truth.
"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death." - Anais Nin
