Ok so at the end of June our family moved to a small city called Meadow lake SK. This is our new adventure. Being as I lived in Saskatoon for most of my life and my children have never lived anywhere else, this is all new to us. My husband has lived in quite a few places.
It is now three weeks we have been here and I have to say I love it! The air is fresher there are forests and lake all around. We are farther north so at 4 AM there is light from the north almost like the sun is rising from the north instead of the east. In the fall and spring the northern lights are so bright and colorful!
Only a few incidents have happened. First of all is when we started our move one of our cats disappeared and we had to leave without him. This was heart wrenching! But thankfully a week later my old neighbor found him and we got him back.All of our cats have changed they are happier, more lovable and very playful. My cat who was very aloof is now always by my side wanting loves and cuddles.
The next thing that happened was my van was left unlocked and the only thing missing was my ashtray! LMAO not the CD in my glove box or the change in my holder but my ashtray, This was too funny!
It's more peaceful, less stressful and safer here.
Our new adventure came with the new job my husband has. He is a distributor for a snack company and he delivers mostly 3-4 hours north. This position has given me the opportunity to be a stay at home mom, I went on a delivery with him and the landscape is breath taking. Unfortunately I wont be able to go with him again for a few months as I have a torn ligament in my shoulder and am having surgery on Aug. 9th, which also happens to be our wedding anniversary.
But I at least I was able to see Buffalo Narrows in the day light and the lake is gorgeous. I went there one time with my mother to delivers some supplies to her husband for a job he was doing up there that's when I saw the northern lights, but we were only there for an hour in the middle of the night and went back to Saskatoon.
If you want to see beautiful landscapes and gorgeous lakes I recommend going up north.
How I long for supernatural powers!
I see a dead child
and I long to say, Arise!
I see a sick man
I long to say, Be healed!
I see a bent old woman
I long to say, Walk straight!
Alas, I feel like a dead stick in paradise.
Master, can you confer on me
supernatural powers?
The old man shook his head fretfully
How long have I been with you
and you know nothing?
How long have you known me
and learned nothing?
Listen; I have walked the earth for 80 years
I have never raised a dead child
I have never healed a sick man
I have never straightened an old woman's spine
Children die
men grow sick
the aged fall
under a stigma of frost
And what is that to you or me
but the turn of the wheel
but the way of the world
but the gateway to paradise?
Supernatural powers!
Then you would play God
would psin the thread of life and measure the thread
5 years, 50 years, 80 years
and cut the thread?
Supernatural powers!
I have wandered the earth for 80 years
I confess to you,
sprout without root
root without flower
I know nothing of supernatural powers
I have yet to perfect my natural powers!
to see and not be seduced
to hear and not be deafened
to taste and not be eaten
to touch and not be bought
But you-
would you walk on water
would you master the air
would you swallow fire?
Go talk with the dolphins
they will teach you glibly
how to grow gills
Go listen to eagles
they will hatch you, nest you
eaglet and airman
Go join the circus
those tricksters will train you
in deception for dimes-
Bird man, bag man, poor fish
spouting fire, moon crawling
at sea forever-
supernatural powers!
Do you seek miracles?
listen- go
draw water, hew wood
break stones-
how miraculous!
Listen; blessed is the one
who walks the earth 5 year, 50 years, 80 years
and deceives no one
and curses no one
and kills no one
On such a one
the angels whisper in wonder,
behold the irresistible power
of natural powers-
of height, of joy, of soul, of non belittling!
You dry stick-
in the crude soil of this world
spring, root, leaf, flower!
trace
around and around
and around-
an inch, a mile, the world's green extent,-
a liberated zone
of paradise!
