Hi all.

What a marvelous year has passed and now I see in this upcoming year the manifestation of the Christmas story.  Light is coming into the world revealing the powerful reality and beauty of creation that in these times is hidden by fear and mass psychosis.

So much has happened in 2021 Angie and I have lived the entirety  of 2021 in our new Chemainus home on Vancouver Island. Here is a Youtube depicting  my 2nd annual New Years plunge into the Georgia Strait.<https://youtu.be/Mw-W2P6tnss>  Providence has given us an opportunity to live a more paleo lifestyle cooperating with creation to regenerate an edible forest.

How satisfying it is to it own the product of our labour.  [cid:part1.J45Da7hc.kzX9MGDn at integralshift.ca] We began by cutting down t[cid:part2.g02eXIPM.4UBb0u9K at integralshift.ca]he Medusa cedar trees threatening our home and those of my neighbors. I then milled the Cedars into lumber.  I work the back end of the mill on the hottest day of the year baptizing my relationship to this piece of land with my blood and sweat. [cid:part3.LpFxF0x5.RV6V53lX at integralshift.ca] My tears now a memory of the past. From the lumber I milled I was able to construct a deck[cid:part4.XTWlehS0.Sb0rnmgQ at integralshift.ca] and a sauna. The sauna was functional a week before Christmas and  facilitated my 2nd annual new years plunge.

[cid:part5.P50jwvLc.NCq6nPJn at integralshift.ca]In July I was able to attend my daughter Maya's wedding to Brandon Willms at canoe medals in the Kananaskis river near Calgary.  [cid:part6.PhLy0fsd.0fBdNUT8 at integralshift.ca] I shared this celebration with Angie, my grandchild, my children, my four brothers,and Brandon's lovely Mennonite family and their wholesome kayaking community.

[cid:part7.sezhSSUw.ww0s3b0l at integralshift.ca]My son Jacob and Samantha Coomara had to cancel their second attempt to celebrate marriage in June because of covert restrictions. As previously planned  they visited us were here in Chemainus. It was great that I could spend some time with my 13 year old grandson Sebastien.  Third times a charm. After returning to Toronto they successfully had a much smaller wedding celebration which Angie and I  could not attend.[cid:part8.muWbdTEb.mM0jEC8a at integralshift.ca]

2021 culminated in the healthy birth of my second grandson, Jackson on Dec. 28th. [cid:part9.VgA01qOH.4z1UVouL at integralshift.ca]  Jackson was breach and his mother Brooke was scheduled for a cesarean on the 28th.  The tension increased when Brooke and my son Jonathan learned on boxing Day they had contracted Covid from Brooke's brother who although ill joined in the Christmas festivities thinking that he would not spread Covid because he was fully vaccinated.  Brooke was ill until she went to the operating room, experiencing no symptoms thereafter.  Jon recovered shortly thereafter.  All are healthy and immune.

Blinded by the light
