just before sunrise, from the back door at home.
I started processing the video submissions for the Connect project. Some amazing stuff to work with!
Scott Leslie posted a link to Charter for Compassion, and I can’t think of a better thing to support. Compassion is so painfully lacking in the world today. It needs to be universal. We are all connected.
This is something I struggle with as well. I need to try harder. A LOT harder. Compassion is essential. Compassion is active. I can’t imagine leaving my son a world that lacks real compassion.
However, this is not about religion. Religion has nothing to do with compassion. I am an athiest, and see compassion as essential – without being muddied by religious interpretation. Compassion is not righteousness, nor is it divine.

lunch with The Boy™ at boston pizza, after swimming lessons today.
downtown calgary marches upward, unabated.
early morning activity along the north side of campus. construction crews were just firing up the cranes, and traffic began to pour through the area.
got to the office well before sunrise this morning, and caught the amazing golden light reflecting through my office window as I was working in near darkness.
it was so dark in the office that I had to use a cinema display as a makeshift tripod to get the 1 second exposure.
I passed the 4600km mark in 2009 while heading through Varsity on Varsity Drive, coming up to the northwest corner of campus.
the sunrise this morning was spectacular. rapidly shifting from deep reds to bright oranges in just a few minutes.
my mom just celebrated her 69th birthday. no better way to do that than with a heaping plate of tiramisu
