Under the volcano

March 6, 2007 By Chris Corrigan Travel One Comment

Under the volcano

Some photos are just sketches, like a note jotted on a half used page of a Moleskine, or a quick line drawing. This is one of those kinds of photos, snapped as the sun rose behind Mount Baker as I was crossing the Lion’s Gate Bridge on a bus this morning. Spring is coming to the west coast. Flying to Victoria, we passed over a flock of snow geese heading north from Reifel Sanctuary to begin the last leg of their journey to the nesting grounds in the Arctic.

whiskey river nails it

March 5, 2007 By Chris Corrigan Being One Comment

Mount Collins and the meadow

Good old whiskey river:

Witness
Sometimes the mountain
is hidden from me in veils
of cloud, sometimes
I am hidden from the mountain
in veils of inattention, apathy, fatigue,
when I forget or refuse to go
down to the shore or a few yards
up the road, on a clear day,
to reconfirm
that witnessing presence.
– Denise Levertov

The photo above was from my walk today, through the forest and meadows near my home on Bowen Island.

Jeff Aitken lays it out

March 5, 2007 By Chris Corrigan Being, First Nations, Uncategorized 4 Comments

My friend Jeff Aitken has been a strangely influential person in my life.   He has been an interesting guide across intercultural spaces, helping me to frame and see my own journey as a person of mixed ancestry facilitating cross-cultural groups and helping to find the creative spark in the space that are created when we all claim our centres and show up whole.   Jeff and I met in 2001 and have had a few conversations over the years, but I’ve always felt very close to him.

Now at his blog rio grand-i-o, he is posting his doctoral thesis which documents his journey to his complex and liquid centre, as a man of mixed ancesrty cultivating an indigenous relationship with the land upon which he lives.   Worth a read, worth subscribing to and worth following if you are interested in how white people can participate in the decolonization process on this continent.
