“…Disconnected from the Natural World”

Robert Burns 1759-1796
Happy Burns Night!
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be Thanket!
O my Luve’s like a red, red rose,
That’s newly sprung in June:
O my Luve’s like the melodie,
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve!
And fare-thee-weel, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ ’twere ten thousand mile!
Should Old Acquaintance be forgot,
and never thought upon;
The flames of Love extinguished,
and fully past and gone:
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,
that loving Breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect
On old long syne.
CHORUS:
On old long syne my Jo,
On old long syne,
That thou canst never once reflect,
On old long syne.
Robbie Burns
Happy Lunar New Year!
LGBTQ2 National Monument
The NCC has approved the site of the future LGBTQ2 Monument. It will be built on Wellington Street at Portage Bridge. The momument meant to commemorate the discrimination against LTBTQ2 Canadians. The moment will be paid by the LGBT Purge Fund. I like its proximity to the Canadian War Museum which houses the Fruit Machine – a contraption that was used to identify LGBTQ2 individuals in the 60s in the Federal Government.
