About this blog

In Toronto, there is a nightly news magazine called T.O. Night aimed at the commuter crowd. One of the
features that it contains is a section called Shout Out where readers can send a short message, rant, note...
to someone, or to anyone...

I started sending Shout Outs to the woman that I am in love with. Not all of them are published in
T.O. Night - and once the magazine is tossed, so too is the shout out...

Here are most of the shout outs that I have submitted - and some of my other writings to
The Lady on the Train...

freckles and stars...

a sliver of a white moon is hung low in a pale bright blue sky... early evening still and the sun's influences lights our world as the moon strengthens..
but the earth will turn on it's axis and soon the moon will disappear into the western horizon, following the sun..
without a cloud in the sky, I already know that this night will reveal a million stars.. the sky black velvet pinholed by pure white stars, each one a hope... a dream... an entire universe to explore, a glimpse of wonders that we might imagine.. colours that we cannot see, distances that we cannot fathom...
and here on earth, ... a million freckles on your white skin... each one it's own miracle.
every star in the heavens is magic... each one a wish, a kiss, a hope, a dream, a mystery... The stars will arc across the sky through the night.. The morning will dawn like this evening, a pale blue sky, the moon following the sun...
but mirrored in the day, across your arms, shoulders, breast - your freckles like constellations... truly heaven on earth.... beauty revealed
on your flesh, wonders yet hidden... a universe across the sky of my thought.
