Lenard Cohen is a Canadian poet of distinction but is best known as a singer songwriter of “Hallelujah”.
I see him as a philosopher flawed but preserved with his hard work.
He liked living in the world.
He paid his dues.
I will remember him for his work and all those things he seemed to make his own.
To journal about the stoic way.
To be present in my conscious awareness of being stoic.
It is the good life and doing no harm.
To state the principles and steep myself in the conversation and my voice to discover my way.
Much like the morning and evening stoic routine, it is a form or means to become conscious and discover the here and now, what is important part of my life.
To discipline myself in the art of living, is to discover my next step.
In a way, the reward is doing the step forward, committing to the choice, a better way to move now.
Letting go of the desire, or tolerating the aversion in whatever form it manifests.
A bit like Sting’s song about ‘every breath you take’. But do no harm.
Human Rights Day commemorates the day on which, in 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Ideally, each of us has the ability to become a global citizen.
I do this through writing, travel, and working as a responsible person.
To act in a way to promote more cooperation and collaboration, but to sustain what works and find better ways to be free.
Be a part and make a move that works better today.

Insight from the Dalai Lama 2020
“Basically we are all the same human beings with the same potential to be a good human being or a bad human being….The important thing is to realize the positive side and try to increase that; realize the negative side and try to reduce. That’s the way.”
It needs to be said by the people we know and trust.
We are all trying to behave well and live a balanced life and living more in the moment.
We are trying to ‘do no harm’.
Please support the effort.
Self isolation is key, which means no gathering for Christmas or Holidays like New Years.
People are dying and we are so close to a working vaccine,in fact the first British Subject was given her shot today.
Please support the effort
Best regards,

People are getting sick and dying from COVID-19.
It is important to remember and grieve the lose.
As a Canadian, I believe a tribute is appropriate for many.
Let’s remember Nick.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_VI
A King, who struggled a great deal, yet seemed to improve the outcomes of the times.
His people affected our lives much more than we know or remember .
Just think of the Royal Family, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of Canada, His Royal Highness, The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, second in line to thrones of Canada, the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms,
We may not think in formal ways about such things,
But it may be hove us to consider more informal relationships the Royals had/have on everyday people like ourselves by looking at Kings like George VI.
The rally he was able to make during those uncertain times may have created this very unlikely outcome of the Second World War.
Singer, Canadian, environmentalist or part-poet…
Life achievement in progress,
Globe trotting fellow, unarmed and true.
