the accompanying photo was taken while spending time with the late Charley Stimac this evening, sharing a photo taken out of the window at Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal during a difficult period of health for Charley in the last year. //// it was evening, on that day read sections of a book on Diego Rivera to Charley, who although struggling to speak, expressed excitement toward the pages documenting Rivera’s murals in Detroit, Charley’s hometown. //// such an honour to have gotten the chance to spend many days, weeks & months with Charley a life long community activist & artist who’s work spanned the labour movement, international solidarity efforts linked to the Palestinian struggle for freedom & also anti imperialist struggles in Latin America, Charley also maintained a love for the earth, nature, and the cosmos, we often watched documentaries on the oceans and the stars together. //// thank you Charley, you are always in my heart.
