The Lost Sock, by Julie Nygaard
Have you ever wondered where those missing socks end up?...
Well......I was in Cowichan Bay recently with my children and we just happen to come across this lonely forgotten sock........
My children had many questions about this sock and how it ended up being there on the fence, all alone..........who put it there, was it to mark something, did someone lose it? My son Kyle thought it might be Raymond's sock for Raymond has socks here, there and everywhere.
My son thought that maybe we should send it in to the Lost & Found at the local newspaper. Someone could be missing this special fuzzy worn out sock!
You just never know.....the sock may have some history, walked with someone in their shoes, kept their feet warm and dry and knew very personal information......there is alot of emotion for this sock.
We left the sock on the fence. Maybe it is a symbol that all is not lost for hanging on the fence is definitely a way to get noticed!

Running with wolves
Turn up your speakers and click play to listen to "Wolf Song".
"The body uses its skin and deeper fascia and flesh to record all that goes on around it. Like the Rosetta stone, for those who know how to read it, the body is a living record of life given, life taken, life hoped for, life healed. It is valued for its articulate ability to register immediate reaction, to feel profoundly, to sense ahead..."

Winter Storm, by Julie Nygaard, 2010
I have been feeling "not myself" lately...... it seems with all the drama our daily lives fill us with and the routines we all follow, we can become unattached, maybe insensitive at times to the world around us. There are times when the world just seems to be not following things according to how our agenda is laid out. With looking for a reason to grumble, a reason for my "moment of self inflicted despair", the caffeine finally kicked in. I realized that I am looking forward to the beginning, the start of the upcoming season, an unfolding of new events in my life and the process of letting go of the cold of winter's grasp.
