hat do numb toes, Florence Nightengale, the worst puns ever, two turkeys, chinooks and midnight smooching have in common? My Christmas holiday is what. Also included in this list: hummingbirds, construction zones, a questionable library, disturbing urps, fireworks and the dream of toboganning. A lovely and odd collection of things. What about you?
My name is Colleen.
I love taking my time and finding beauty and humour in things before they happen - as in seeds and salamanders.
"The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back."
