This was another photo from the night of our earthquake, which of course now seems like nothing in comparison to the devastation in Haiti. There is usually a protective veil of incomprehensibility when tragedy is projected through the media. And the magnitude and extent of destruction is still absolutely unimaginable, but the short two days between our quake and theirs leaves a small window of visceral compassion. There are people here who simply cannot watch the news coverage of Haiti because it is too real and the protective veil is too thin. My thoughts, prayers and heart go out through this small window…
There are many ways to donate and a rather simple one is text "haiti" to 90999 and it will donate $10 to the American Red Cross Haitian Relief Fund.

The Ambakalanoro is unique because it never burnt. Its natural protection came from the fact that it is surrounded by an incredible circle cliff.

Navy and Marine Corps Force Health Protection Command (NMCFHPC) holds a cake cutting ceremony for the U.S. Navy’s 249th birthday, Oct. 10, 2024, at Navy Medical Center Portsmouth, Virginia. In 1775, on the 13th of October, a resolution of the Continental Congress established what is now the United States Navy with “a swift sailing vessel, to carry ten carriage guns, and a proportional number of swivels, with eighty men, be fitted, with all possible despatch, for a cruise of three months….” After the American War of Independence, the U.S. Constitution empowered the new Congress “to provide and maintain a navy.” Acting on this authority, Congress established the Department of the Navy on Apr. 30, 1798.

The Briton’s Protection is one of the oldest pubs in the city centre. Dating back to 1806, it is said to have been ‘used as a refuge by folk escaping the attentions of recruiters for the Napoleonic Wars’ - hence its moniker. Folklore also suggests the name has connotations with the Peterloo Massacre of 1819, when 18 people were killed and hundreds were injured by soldiers who stormed a peaceful protest.
This morning, on Nov. 5, 2025, Premier David Eby; Chief Marilyn Slett, president, Coastal First Nations; Mayor Garry Reece, Lax Kw’alaams; Jason Alsop, president, Haida Nation; Paula Amos, Indigenous Tourism B.C.; and Clarence Innis, Hereditary Elder, all signed the following declaration:
The North Coast Protection Declaration
“For generations, communities have built and sustained the economy of the North Coast – a legacy that continues today through a multibillion-dollar, sustainable conservation economy that supports thousands of livelihoods in fisheries, tourism, renewable energy and stewardship.
“Protecting our coast is not a barrier to economic prosperity – it is the source of it.
“The Great Bear Rainforest agreements have directly created more than 1,400 permanent jobs and 140 new businesses to date – and counting. In the past 15 years, the conservation economy has generated nearly $2 billion in economic value for British Columbia and for Canada. This is economy that invests back into communities, setting the foundation for ongoing prosperity.
“The oil tanker ban is the result of over 50 years of advocacy from First Nations and coastal communities, and supported by federal and provincial governments of all political stripes. Formalized into law in 2019, the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act did not create this protection – it codified a longstanding commitment that has kept one of the most ecologically and culturally rich marine regions on Earth safe from the threat of crude-oil spills.
“Repealing the tanker ban would risk near-term major projects and cheat B.C.’s economy out of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in investments. Over the long term, the consequence of a crude-oil spill in these waters would be generations of lost livelihoods and irreversible ecological damage.
“We urge the federal government to stand firm in its commitment to uphold the tanker ban. Protecting the North Coast is not an item for negotiation – it is a national responsibility, and it is a quantifiable investment in Canada’s treasured marine environment and the economic prosperity of future generations.
“We choose progress.
“We choose protection.
“We choose: Our Economy. Our Coast.”

This capture is upside down of the thermostat and behind it is the smoke detector. Really, the smoke detector is on top. The illusion being that most people prefer comfort over protection.

Protection.
This photograph reminds me of my friends...my neighborhood and all those people whom I meet on my journey.
I feel loved and preserved by them.
This is what I see from my eyes. I feel protected and loved.

...when the process of life begins...
the soul is protected in the womb for months..
as the years progress.. we grow..
we spread out wings..
we reach out for things..
we start to reap.. we start to sow..
however, at all times,
we seek the protection.
initially its from parents..
then comes your friends....
the close ones..
and then the not so close ones
at times it could be a distant person..
you have not met...
in the end, there would be an almighty...
the sole protector,
always present,
but you look to them only when all the above have given up on you...
in the end the matter of fact is..
we all need the protection.

Who is your Protector?
Is it your Mum?
Your Dad?
What if you don't have a Mum or Dad...
Then maybe your Uncles and Aunts... including the fake ones..
What about your brothers...
The Brothers
Your Sisters.. the many mammas in your lives...
What about God...
Or is it simply a combination of all of the above.
