Within the Blink of a Moment

I thought I would take the time to mention that of recent I know that I have been writing on areas which are less personal aside of the pictures I had sent to me from my cousin.  I have never opted to lecture nor teach from a blog. Most all of us have followed a certain pathway within what we write.  Within the past days I thought that I would take the time to change the manner of how I blogged and write in what is more of a means and ways.

Yet at the same time I have been most interested or more appropriately said – concerned with how things are going. I don’t think that is drama I think it’s more of a concern.  It’s truly hard to write without knowing full well that you may not be of concern due to were you reside. As mentioned last night my cousin and I were talking on the phone and as ironic as that may be – he now has been back and forth with his wife Louise where before, I was the one that was thought of as being that Canadian Yankee.

During my adult life and living within America - there were not the so very prevalent concerns that we have had over the last ten years but I truly believe that within the last five years there has been a mind shift for the average person within America. The very fiber of America was within a thematic ingrained thought of being proud within a country where you can do nearly anything if you set your mind to it. America was always seen as the land of dreams. Perhaps the space program which is well embedded and remembered by most symbolizes what the past America was. Is it the average American which is too blame – I don’t think so. Is it a time where many are very let down as to how things are going and quite possibly there is a concern which comes along with that. I sort of think so. But with all do respect, I love America the landscape has changed it's a no brainer to anyone whom resides in America and to those that know America. Yet the average America would rather not have another outside of America write about their country - as it's like allowing someone into your home and then they are indicating what parts of the house are good and which are bad. The natural reflex question would be where you get off in speaking about my house when I allowed you to enter it. I guess that is the closest I can get with trying to relate my own writings with respect to a place I have lived in and had great opportunities in my childhood as well as my adulthood. The meaning of what America right now might be different which for the average American it’s very difficult to come to terms with that. But it’s very obvious that there is a transition which is taking place. Perhaps it’s one of the largest adaptations which the average American never thought would come to be.

As well, I do love to write about other things which include my other country if you will. I was born in America but when my father retired he never considered that our entire family could become residents of United States. His feeling was that he wished to bring the family upon his retirement back to the town and province of where he and my mother were born.  I don’t have many complaints in saying that I am very passionate when it comes to certain areas. As well, I know full well that one would assume that I am inclusively Canadian by way of my blog. I value it as a fortunate situation. That is where trust comes in as I am that half and half and so often here within my part of Canada, I have always been asked if I would return to New York. To be entirely honest – New York City is not the same city as it was just before 9/11. If there was a time I was prepared to return to United States it would have been five years ago. But right now with the situations which are going on I am pleased to be living as a Canadian here in Western Canada.

So I have written many things pertaining to that of what I have been educated in a more so from where I reside and whom I have worked for. Yet the fabric of what we are is not of where we come from but more so in whom we are. As mentioned before we are human beings not human doings. But when you look closer within the writings we are human’s which are embarking at that is what renders the value of the templates of words that we place down within space.

I have been writing in a manner which is that of which is from my own experiences and things which are of interest to me from both sides of the 49^th. I love Canada and still keep learning more about it as time goes on while I understand what its’ in being American.  Regardless of either country, we don’t live in the past and what is paramount is in rendering the best things within the given day regardless of where you are and where you reside. As when it really comes down to it – it much more about the person and people than it is about where they come from.  As I have wrote some writes on Canada but as ironic as it may seem I know learned more about America thank I know of Canada. Yet what I find is most interesting is what makes this world tick. And history has always more than often that it does not repeat itself. Yet we may see ways of which it seems to be. But one would hope that we don’t shed a blind eye on what is going on within the world as she is an amazing place this tiny world of ours. One which within certain times we can be concerned yet go about our very own days. As that is the key to life regardless of where you are on this planet.

This commodity of time sometimes can be most annoying as one side has that desire to stay up a little and the other side does know it’s been a lengthy day. What I have learned today? Never run for an hour right after supper. So for now I bid you a fine weekends within spaces and places, as well within this very world of which we all reside with sneakers or otherwise. As these lands are where we plant our feet regardless of how large or small and the duration of any given situation. As more than often there is always a resolve.
