Musings on the not so ordinary life of one Canadian chick. View my complete profile. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. I find great comfort in the universe’s ability to right itself; to maintain harmony; to counterbalance each action with an equal but opposite reaction. I can tend to forget about life’s splendid capacity for symmetry while wrapped up inside my head, particularly when my thoughts are darker than usual. 8220;Have you ever been in love? Paints a pretty sad picture eh? Gaimon’s description...

A Tale of Two Towns: November 2007
http://blog.vickirby.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
A Tale of Two Towns. Random musings on life by a peripatetic alien in Todos Santos (Winter) and Comox (Summer). Tuesday, 27 November 2007. The Magic Dust of Todos Santos swirls energized around the hungry town. Drawing strength from dreams of rebirth alloyed with greed. 8221; the eager-eyed new supplicants declare. Those indentured to the town know better. You can fight it, but it always wins. Ingratiating itself into every crevice. Smudging the raw experience of life. Narrowing the field of vision.

Bibi's Beat: October 2007
http://vickistclair.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Being a writer is like having homework for the rest of your life - you can never switch off. If you're not writing, you're editing. If you're not researching, or reading, you're hustling. If you're not eavesdropping or brainstorming or working new ideas . then you'd better get out of the business and find a real job! Irvine, Hollywood screenwriter. Sunday, October 14, 2007. Never say goodbye . There’s a saying I like that’s really true:. It all started when I answered five questions. So l ast month I hir...

I often seek inspiration from my favourite writers and poets. These words from Rilke give me hope. The world we desire can be won. It exists. It is possible. Now there’s a heroic sentiment if ever I heard one. Thursday, July 12, 2012. How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live. The pitiful thing is.

In wondering about 2012, like many others, I resolved once more to eat healthier, get fitter, slimmer, and be more fiscally responsible. In fact, reading a survey in the newspaper of the top five most common New Year’s resolutions, within a few hours of waking on January 1st, I had considered at least four of the five. A Case of You. Ever the hopeful rom...

So many what if’s come to mind. I choose to disregard them. And once again nothing. No story worth telling came forth. No cool characters I could get excited about. No interesting plot ideas. No original place or names, gadgets or gizmos. November 1st came and went. Nope. Still nothing. 8220;The Neighbours”. Lilli...

Musings on the not so ordinary life of one Canadian chick. View my complete profile. Wednesday, January 2, 2013. How’d that happen? It just crept up sneakily on me. I could have sworn it was just October a second ago. In spending some time thinking about the past year, I was reminded of how quickly time seems to zip by. The older I get, the faster the days and months seem to whirl past. On a day to day basis I don’t really note any difference. It’s only when I pause for a second. A triumph for me over my...
