"There is divine beauty in learning, just as there is human beauty in tolerance. To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps." -Eli Weisel
This week, let's remember to give thanks for the people around us and for those who are no longer here, who have helped or continue to help define who we are! We are, after all, a product of life which has been here before us. To walk in the footsteps of those who walked before us and those who walk with us is an honour we should never forget.
Cheers to humanity for affording us the opportunity to LIVE...LOVE...LAUGH!

Pope Benedict recently met with Aboriginal residential school survivors. Talk about a huge step for the church toward the 21st century. I have a new-found respect for this Pope by virtue of this action alone. It's nice to see that the Catholic Church is acknowledging its sins of the past. In doing so, he admits that the church was once an instrument of intolerance - despite the intensions, if we can even argue that they were honourable to begin with.
