There are greater things than fear, cynicism & despair: beauty, wonder & hope. I think we can change the world if we offer these things as a light in the darkness. Goodness & beauty are necessary.

"Constantly bound by craving and fear, to a future full of uncertainties, we strip each present moment of its calm, its intrinsic import, which we are unable to enjoy. And so, the future destroys the present." — Hannah Arendt

Books, books, books. It was not that I read so much. I read and re-read the same ones. But all of them were necessary to me. Their presence, their smell, the letters of their titles, and the texture of their leather bindings. - Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette #Reading #Books

My column tomorrow: Covid will likely change downtowns forever. Cities that prosper will be the ones planning a response today. Initiatives that create a diverse downtown neighbourhood, less reliant on transient office workers, will best respond to the changing urban landscape.

Maybe my favourite Christmas song feels more fitting this year than ever before. “Someday soon we all will be together, if the fates allow, until then we’ll have to make it through somehow, so have yourself a Merry little Christmas now.” Stay safe & take care of each other. 🙏🏻

Meitheal, is an old Irish word which encapsulates community spirit, where everyone looks out for each other and everyone is respected! This is our tradition, it’s in our blood it’s our psyche!

I am on the west coast of Canada and lit a candle for John Hume as an advocate for dialogue in peace-building @steugenesderry @BBCNewsNI #JohnHume

This evening a city remembers #JohnHume. The Hume family has asked mourners not to line the streets of Derry as John’s body returns home, but instead remember him at home by lighting a candle at 9pm. @steugenesderry @BBCNewsNI @bbcnewsline
