I am grateful for the privilege that lets me live on Vancouver Island
I am grateful to be a visitor on the traditional lands of the Lek’wungen People
I am grateful for the freedom to walk on the beach at dusk in safety
I am grateful for being a white male
in a world of violence towards women
I thank the creator for all the gifts I share
I thank the creator for all of you
I’m grateful
for the privilege of sharing
this moment
this now
with you
