//and somehow I saw a glimpse of it..a person walking past me..steadily, brilliantly, covered in flames...un-provoked by their nature and of our passing. Looking down towards the sensations in my legs, I realized that somehow I was wearing heavy boots, walking a straight path several feet deep in a long line of others completely un-aware of each-other, un-aware of our surroundings. Each person in front pressing the foothold deeper and deeper into the ground. I felt a calling to turn around, to step away but the boots were heavy and I was scared of leaving the pack, scared of catching fire. So I continued on, and quickly I was returned back to the known. The comfortable discomfort of daily life. From time to time, this feeling calls to me and visits me in my dreams. Sometimes I can even see a small flame emitting from a fingertip or two //
B. my story (who I am, how I got here)

A small guy with a big heart living boldly in truth, with a love of inspiring others and finding the paths less travelled. A highly inflamed body (asthma, IBS, excema, migraines, physical trauma, generational trama) with chronic illness related to a brain injury (post concussion syndrom, adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalance). Hard to be located but often found within the community of Montreal/Tiohtià:ke, resting with family by Lake Simcoe/Ouentironk or hidden amongst the comfort of the forest grounds, river rocks or ocean tides.
