In The Twilight of Divinity

The room was lit like an ancient sunset

The speckled dust frozen in the streams of half light

And the walls stood weary from the passing years

Her face like a painting by Michelangelo

A thought left to be finished for another time

She stared out a glassless window across the fields of pale gold

A life that lay dormant under the weary hands of time

Questions chasing themselves in circles

As the reverie of lost years crutch her spirit

Nothing amputates the sting of failing dreams

Noted in the hint of her soulless smile

Her eyes speak like a silent tongue

A truth more obvious than a feeble lie

In times of desperation does one’s character grow stronger?

Or does it fade away in the twilight of divinity?

A wrinkled portrait of Jesus rests in a frame on the wall

Like a beacon smothered in a dense fog

There is peace in his eyes but pain in his heart

Things are never what they seem



The Big Give

As we live in times where “standing out from the crowd” is what seems to be the desired effect, essentially we all just want to feel normal. In this “Me” world it’s always good to be involved in something much bigger than yourself and on Tuesday night, as we performed at the 1st annual The Big Give event at The Great Hall in Toronto, that’s exactly what we did.

Look Good Feel Better is an organization that holds 1200 seminars for women and teenage girls who have just been diagnosed with cancer. The seminars teach these women how to maintain their self-confidence and elevate their self-image through their battle with cancer. The LGFB workshop brings women with cancer together in a safe and supportive environment where they can share stories, insights, laughter, and feel “normal.” LGFB should be applauded for their efforts in providing some comfort and self-assurance to those who truly need it.

A Massive Thank You to Margot Grant Witz for putting together a fantastic event and all those who gave their time and those who came out in support. We were honored just to be part of it.
