Embeddedness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does it mean to be deeply connected to a particular place, to be embedded in it, over an extended period of time? This is one of the questions that occupies the work of Canadian artist Marlene Creates (pronounced “Kreets”).Born in 1952 in Montreal, she received her visual arts education at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. By the late 1970s, Creates had already discovered that her artistic calling was about place and placemaking. Her work centers on interconnected explorations of pla
The Stickiness of Loss (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In his book Hardwiring Happiness, neuropsychologist Dr. Rick Hanson writes—“Our negative experiences stick to us like Velcro, while our positive experiences slide right off us like Teflon.”While that seems a pessimistic take, it is no less true, at least for me.

Experts are warning of the continued intensification of an already strong El Niño that will impact weather patterns already disrupted by
Dolphins and Warning Signs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Out, In.Out, In.Out, In.I watch two dolphins arc out of the water, in tandem leaps of life and joy, with no cares beyond the moment.In, Out.In, Out.In, Out.Like the breathing exercises I use to regulate a frazzled nervous system.All the way down the coastline, the dolphins continue their gentle undulations, their own co-regulation exercises. They are like synchronized swimmers, but rather than vying for Olympic Gold, they seem satisfied with just being in sync. I’m reminded of the children’s son
