Hey Winnipeg! What’s in your diver- Mosaic Mojo
sity dish today? Life is like a flower garden when I
walk down the streets of Winnipeg and see tints and
shades of colours of every colour in the book. It must
me how the Garden of Eden looked like. How freeing
when we can appreciate without judging, enjoy without
craving and rub look in the eye of brothers and sisters
with whom the common language is a smile. When you
can do that you’ve arrive in the human race. Are you
there yet?
***
Diversity is like a garden you plant a little of this and a
little of that. You plant some flowers in between the
greens and potato and you sit back and wait for the
sumptuous harvest but in spite of all that the weeds
show their heads. You cannot stop the week from
growing because is its natural job. Everything reaches
for the light and when it connects with the light a bud
appears and the seed leaves the darkness and grow and
flower and dance in lightness.
When you are plagued with thoughts of judgment,
discrimination and racism, reach for good thoughts and
see the beauty in everyone you meet as a reflection of
your own beauty and gradually you will emerge like
that seed..

Shocking Truth
Recent Research show the close-the-gate syndrome is
happening in Canada.
- Foreign born people are urging government to limit
immigration. Can you believe that. Selfish dogs! They
got compassion but now do not want to extend it to
others.
- There is a trend that discrimination is now based on
the country people come from
- Minority against minority discrimination is on the
rise.
- LGBTT people of colour are
two times as like to experi-ence
