In Memoriam


Recent winds allowed for debris I might have otherwise climbed a ladder for. Blue spruce, cedar, fir, holly, which I gathered and saved for Xmas door decorations.

I wanted to have something on the door in time for today's anniversary of the 1989 École Polytechnique Massacre, an event as unbelievable to me as it is horrific, and must never be repeated.

Yesterday morning I composed my decoration, first on a table, adding to it after its hanging. This year's addition was a dried out hydrangea bloom intended to hide the string I used to bind the other elements and to my mind looks as beautiful in death as it does in life.
