Saturday is the second the last opening of the Off The Wall
show at the Heliconian Club, 35 Hazelton Avenue, Toronto
from 2 - 5p.m.  There are many extremely reasonable pieces
available. As always there will be treats and coffee. And it is 
free!

Last year I posted this, which seems as right today as
 it did a year ago.

"I liked this post about purpose.  The world is in a mess -- it seems

like it's worse than in 2020.  The wars are horrific, the climate change

is bordering on out of control.  Diseases are surging again.
My purpose remains the same.

" I think that my purpose is to create hope, spread love, joy and
when I'm in person with friends, family, colleagues and students, to
help us all get to laughter. 

My purpose is to help us get happy.  But sometimes
this feels impossible.  It's hard to see the light with Australia
(and Canada and other countries this past summer) burning,
 and a full scale senseless war in the middle east, and our closest

neighbour starting new wars almost every day.
But we have to keep working on joy.  We have to vote for people
who care more about climate change, than money for oil, who 
care about saving the planet, and protecting the earth's citizens.  
And we have to end all war everywhere.

As an 18 year old I first marched for peace.  Let's get some."

Have an enjoying your purpose day.
