This is really 7 completely separate stories knitted together by an article of clothing. The larger story is about how life follows a certain arc and can change dramatically because of an object -- in this case, a very personal found object. 
 
About me: I am and have always been, a conduit for ideas. In my commercial work, in my paintings, in my social experiments, I have always shared an idea as a way to encourage an open mind...  For example, years ago I published 3 issues of a magazine called Special Glasses, Open your mind and share what's there. That's it really. That's me in a nutshell. I open my mind, my heart, my imagination and share what's there. [Here are the magazines, if you are interested: http://www.duo.ca/magazine/] or a social experiment project: http://www.duo.ca/mugs/  or my paintings: http://noracamps.com/ 

I spend roughly half my time in the countryside surrounded by the darkest nights, stormy skies, achingly beautiful fields, and forests - and besides birds singing and the howling of coyotes... there is complete quiet. The rest of the time I live in Toronto, [a city that I love] Ontario, Canada. 

Please tell me what you think of my story [stories].
