over

In between homes. Again. So I watched the ravens from our hotel window dance the slipstreams. Sweep over my frosty Yellowknife, circle spin over our empty apartment, our barren house in the barrenland. Speed cold beaks over the little lake, over the big lake, over my old paths. Over the hotel top to new ones, not yet packed down with Colleen-shaped footprints. Snow on the other side of town waiting for me.

Colleen said...: Thank you, Jenny! The ravens were playing right there in front of me. We had to check out of our hotel room but I could barely peel myself away from the window.; 14 June 2012 at 13:50

The Pancake Chronicles

My name is Colleen.
I love taking my time and finding beauty and humour in things before they happen - as in seeds and salamanders.

"The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back."

C.S. Lewis - Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold

"Look, it's not in my nature to be mysterious. But I can't talk about it and I can't talk about why."
