Perspective taking and a pause

Can we start our Canada Day with a bigger-than-just-me-pause? For some, this “holiday” is a marker of heartache and trauma. This may not be your experience. But it is the reality for some.

I asked my 25 year old son, “What do you think? Do we ‘cancel’ Canada Day?” His response,

“To cancel it honors no one. Erasing history doesn’t right history. But can we incorporate mourning into the celebration?”

Chief Cadmus Delorme (Cowness First Nation) invites us to consider, “We all inherited this…and we have to acknowledge that people are healing and people are hurting…” Donate a Car Canada doesn’t have answers. We are a team who aims to do justly and mercifully. And so, we pause. Reflect. And wonder about a world that is full of Goodness for all.

Lightness and sadness…both-and

While reflecting with each day’s new news, we also feel the gratitude. Canada Day is day to laugh at ourselves a little, too!
