Our Abilities

with 2 comments

I saw a woman walk up to the mall door. She stood in front of it for a little while then turned to walk back to her car.

As I passed her she murmured – “the mall is closed”.

It was only after I had pulled the door open that it came to me. The woman was expecting automatic opening doors.

Are we slowly losing our abilities to do simple things?

Being Female

Celebration of Light Vancouver 2011

Life got in the way of blogging but I am back now. Thank goodness I am back, I missed my blog.

I was happy to hear Mohammad Shafia, 58, his wife Tooba Yahya, 42, and their son Hamed, 21, were each found guilty of four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Shafia’s three teenaged daughters and his first wife.

From the start of the trial in October, prosecutors argued these were “honour killings” — the Afghan-Canadian family’s answer to the young sisters’ perceived shameful behaviour.

I find the whole honour-killing concept crazy, how can killing be honourable?

My sister often says that being female in this world is like living in a slow horror movie.

Females are thought of as dispensable – this needs to stop and we need to speak up.

Saturday Scenes – A Break In The Rain

with 2 comments

Winter this year has been warm and rainy. The lack of sunlight and super short days depresses me a little.

However, once in a while we get a break in the rain.
Then Vancouver becomes magical again.
