Wâpos is the Cree word for rabbits, and it was one of the events of downtown Spark we attended during the Easter weekend in downtown Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The rabbit sculptures were adorable! We truly enjoyed the event. I have passed by the Amiskwaskahegan Park (Beaver Hills House Park) on Jasper Avenue in downtown Edmonton many many times and it was my first time to explore this park.
The pandemic was hitting us hard again in early 2021. Yet, I felt optimistic due to the arrival of spring and vaccines. Going to downtown Edmonton for the art exhibition really shone a light during this time.
Below is the information from Explore Edmonton website on this art display.
"Visit Beaver Hills House Park to view an immersive installation of wâpos (rabbit) to celebrate the coming of spring. Wâpos is celebrated for prosperity, abundance and good luck - also for wit and wisdom and of course, being incredibly playful - all of these attributes are brought to life in this completely immersive installation with lights, sound, story and of course sculpture to create a truly one of a kind experience in Edmonton. The sculptures are designed by Indigenous artist Jason Carter and the experience is created by Bridget Ryan and Jason Carter."
This cherry tree has an uncanny knack of coming into blossom right before another cold snap. Took this pic this morning, tonight it's 2degC out there with wind chill.

While I was never a hard core Trekkie, I'm a big believer that Star Trek has had a huge impact on how we have invented our future - but perhaps more important, how we view that future.
On the first point, consider the devices which were imagined in the 60’s that are a part of our world today: real-time language translation; video-chat, personal communicators, wearable medical devices and tri-corders! Somehow the writers imagined our today, yesterday (as did those involved in the Jetsons and other shows within the 60’s.) And while Star Trek is not necessarily known for painting an optimistic, rosy view of the future, it certainly seems more hopeful than some other fictional movies and TV shows.
Consider “Agent Smith” in The Matrix: “As a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery." Not terribly inspiring, that.
You know your future is what you make it. You fully comprehend that it is the steps that you take, the path you consider, and the choices along the way that will decide your direction.
It should be pretty obvious that you should let optimism be your guide.

My optimism is found in these fundamental beliefs (based on a blog post I wrote on November 9, 2016 - to me, a very difficult day:) jimcarroll.com/2016/11/10-reasons-why-i-still-believe-in-... - Science still exponentiates - Knowledge still accelerates - The global idea machine still reverberates - Big thinkers still think of how to solve big challenges - Hyper-connectivity still provides for a reimagined future - Inventors still invent - Dreamers still dream - Innovators still innovate - Doers still do - Change agents can still effect positive change - No barrier to the future is insurmountable with the right determination
Optimism can always overcome pessimism.
In that context, the future is still full of opportunity - and you are richer than you think!

Katy Perry is now an astro-NOT who embodies the double-standards of girl-math and toxic feminism .
The double standards that women expect men to meet via toxic feminism, gamification of dating, the 666-rule(s), etc. are just insane and a huge part of why men are walking away from dating, relationships, and marriage and choosing to stay single for the rest of their adult life.
