Where I fit in the box of crayons....

Do you ever get that feeling like there's more out there? That's the feeling that brought me to beyond borders. The global community is growing, and I have not yet become a part of it. I want to be a contributing citizen to the global community through participation and action. Over the years, I have developed an appreciation for diversity and difference, and look for other ways that people are doing things. There’s a whole world out there beyond our North American perspective that has the potential to change the way I see things, and to change my life. Gahndi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." I think we should not only find the change within ourselves, but also take part in the change we want to see in the world. I hope that Beyond Borders will offer a medium in which I can be the change I want to see in the world, and also take part in that change.

Кіт і Пиріг - The cat and the Pie

My cat has just come out of surgery - he had 5 massive kidney stones (poot thing), so in honour of my recovering furry friend here is a little Ukrainian Poem...

Кіт і Пиріг ("keet ee pehreeh")- The cat and the Pie

Падав сніг на поріг
Кіт зліпив собі пиріг
Поки смажив
Поки пік
А пиріг водою стік
Кіт не знав що на пиріг
Треба тісто а не сніг

"Pa-dav sneegh na poreeh
keet zleepev sobee pehreeh
pokee cmadgeiv
pokee pik
a pehreeh voodooyou stick
keet ne znav shcho na pehreeh
treba teesto a ne sneegh"

The snow was falling in the foyer
The cat made a pie for himself
While he was frying
While he was baking
The pie turned into water.
The cat didn't know that to make a pie,
One needs dough, not snow.

*love* to Mr Cat (Mangia)
