"The Clever Raven"
They say the Raven was once the wisest of creatures, with feathers as dark as the night and eyes that could see into the heart of things. The Raven’s mind was full of tricks, always a step ahead.

In ancient times, Raven was a trickster — playing pranks, but also teaching valuable lessons. It’s said that Raven stole fire from the gods, tricking them into giving it to humans, bringing warmth to the world. Through its cleverness, Raven changed the fate of all.

The elders spoke of Raven outwitting the greatest hunters, sneaking into their camps and stealing food silently. Its sharp beak and quick wit made it the master of survival, always adapting to any situation.

Today, Raven’s cleverness can still be seen. It waits near people, observing and scavenging for scraps, using its sharp mind to find what others miss. In cities and towns, it lurks in parking lots, making use of what’s left behind.

Though still a trickster, Raven has become a symbol of resourcefulness and adaptability. It teaches us that cleverness isn’t just about outsmarting others, but about finding ways to thrive, even in the most crowded places.

The Raven reminds us that with quick thinking and a sharp mind, we can always find a way to survive — and flourish.

I begged you, Dad.
Find your happiness. Leave
Go somewhere else and breathe.
After all, the woman you called your wife and protected had already left you long ago,
found comfort in another space and living life as she pleased.

If she says you were not a good husband,
you were a great father. A kind man. A man too good for her.
“Move on, Daddy,” I would say. “Please choose yourself. Choose life.”

I wanted you alive.
I wanted to bring you to Canada, to show you the world you only read about,
to show you that joy exists elsewhere.
If only you had walked away from the source of your pain.

You never chased wealth.
You found joy in your children’s growth, in our success.
You were proud of me as I was of you,
for taking bold steps.
Even now, in your silence, she drags your name.
But you remain quiet… even in death.

It’s over now. No one can make you feel small or sad again.
No more pain. No more shame.

Don’t worry, Daddy.
I’ll fight your fight.

I know you’ve finally found home.
