TALES OF OLD VANCOUVER

SOMEHOW I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING:

I HAPPILY DID ALL OF WHAT I COULD.

I was thinking of what Vancouver was like when I lived there and when I returned to pursue Art, Music and Writing. There were a lot of really cool things going on.

I was there for the Seventies; I had the Advanced Method jewelry Manufacturing  downtown and the Burr House in Delta  the last half of the Decade. I returned when I could until the later nineties when it was no longer possible at all.

THE ASSIDUOUS PURSUIT OF ART, MUSIC AND WRITING EMPLOYMENT WAS CHARACTERIZED AS INSANE AND THUS COULD POSE A RISK AND BE DANGEROUS: "PLEASE MR POLICEMAN CRUSH MY HUSBAND'S PRETENSIONS TO BEING AN ARTISAN,ARTIST, WRITER AND MUSICIAN, HE'S CRAZY".

ONE MIGHT TAKE A LOOK AT THE ART, MUSIC AND WRITING AT LINDONCOLLARD.com, blogspot or on You Tube.

It is well known that recovery from injury and brain injury and childhood abuse trauma is facilitated by Art and Music. Being in the familiar happy places helps to heal and reactivate the mind.

HOW COULD PEOPLE WITH NOTHING TO LOSE BY MY DOING MY THING FEEL THEY HAD TO INTERVENE AND BRING MY HAPPY RESTORATIVE TIME TO AN END.

"I AM GOING TO WIPE THE SMILE OFF YOUR FACE" SAID MY EX WIFE AND SHE REACHED OUT TO THE POLICE TO SAY I WAS DISCONTENTED AND DANGEROUS.

WRITING, MUSIC COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE WERE CHARACTERIZED AS "HUBRIS" OR EGOMANIA WHEN WHAT IT WAS IS CARPING CRITICS FELT SMALL AND UN-CREATIVE SO THEY WERE ANGRY AT ME.

ALL I HAVE HAD TO WRITE ABOUT IS THE EXCEEDINGLY DIMINISHED EXPERIENCE THAT THE WOMEN WANTED AGAINST ME.
