“She had always wanted words, she loved them; grew up on them.
Words gave her clarity, brought reason, shape.”

Just as we were coming to terms with Rex Murphy’s passing,
another great Canadian has departed.
Rest in peace, Alice Munro.
Rex Murphy
A Canadian treasure! He was one of the greats and he will be missed.
I didn’t always agree with him, but I always looked forward to his columns.
Rest in peace.

“The complexity of things—the things within things—just seems to be endless.
I mean nothing is easy, nothing is simple.”

Merry Christmas!
“The rooms were very still while the pages were softly turned and the winter sunshine crept in to touch the bright heads and serious faces with a Christmas greeting.”
~ Louisa May Alcott (b. November 29, 1832 – d. March 6, 1888), Little Women
