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.

A cloud, and a rainbow’s warning,
Suddenly sunshine and perfect blue—An April day in the morning.”

“There are two ways of spreading light;
to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”

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