A very simple secret
The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched; they are felt with the heart.
These treasures dwell in the quiet spaces between words, in the soft glow of connection, in the unspoken understanding shared between souls. They cannot be measured or held, for their essence is woven into the fabric of existence itself, beyond the reach of our senses but not beyond our grasp.
We find them in the warmth of a fleeting smile, in the resonance of a shared laugh, in the comfort of a presence that asks for nothing but offers everything. They are the love that lingers in absence, the hope that flickers in darkness, the joy that arises from simply being.
To see with the heart is to look beyond the surface, to embrace what cannot be explained or proven. It is to trust in the invisible threads that bind us—to others, to the world, to the universe itself. It is to understand that the greatest gifts are those that defy possession: the serenity of a sunrise, the weightless beauty of music, the quiet strength of a whispered promise.
These things, untouched by time and unbound by form, remind us of what it means to be truly alive. They call us to slow down, to listen, to feel. They remind us that life’s most profound truths are not written in books or carved in stone—they are carried in the heart, and it is there they will forever remain.
The mystery of life
Although my involvement in this celebration of 50 years of The Pender Post involved only the years from 1998 to 2013, I am happy to have been asked to contribute. It has given me the opportunity to honour so many community-minded people who gave so much in order to breathe life into an important community newsletter, and keep it alive and thriving for half a century. As I didn’t live here in 1971 and met only a few of the people mentioned from those early years, I have largely relied upon four sources: The Pender Post submissions, Gulf Islands Driftwood articles, the Pender Museum’s timeline, and the excellent anthology of memories and anecdotes edited by Douglas Harker and published in 1993, More Tales From the Outer Gulf Islands. I hope I will be forgiven for any errors or omissions.
