…Heaven’s in our hearts…
Excerpt from “Heaven’s Here On Earth” by Tracy Chapman from her CD, “New Beginnings”:
Heaven’s here on earth
in our faith in humankind
in our respect for what is earthly
in our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding.
I’ve seen and met angels wearing the disguise of ordinary people leading ordinary lives,
filled with love compassion forgiveness and sacrifice.
Heaven’s in our hearts.

Canola fields by the North Saskatchewan River, Petrofka Bridge and Doukhobor land. The Doukhobors were Russian immigrants moving to Saskatchewan and the Canadian prairies during the latter part of the 20th century and the early 1900s. To escape the harsh winter they lived in dugouts built partially underground.

After a few days of Singapore fave of fatty chicken and white rice platters I knew I had to find an alternative. Problem solved: Dragonfruit. White, fleshy interior with tiny black seeds, much like a kiwi – refreshing!
The very unusual Cannonball Tree Couroupita guianensis – a wonderfully unique flowering fruit tree growing on East Coast Beach, Singapore. The flowers are about 5″ wide and develop in massive 12 foot-long bunches. The fruit is about 8 – 10 inches across, and apparently has a very unpleasant odor. The tree has been regarded as sacred in India for thousands of years, and the bark, leaves and fruit have been used medicinally as a disinfectant; even believed to cure diseases like malaria.
