The Upper Levels of West Vancouver ...

Meanwhile, while shopping at Nordstrom’s Pacific Centre, I stumbled upon something very Alexander Calder-esque ... anyone know who this is by?

Skylines YVR: World AIDS DAY — December 1st — Givin’it back. Volunteered all day. My lunch break pause to look back at the architectural gem of AIDS VANCOUVER, where so many community outreach programs are based. ••• AIDS Vancouver was founded in 1983 as the first AIDS service organization in Canada. ••• Beautiful new building, clean lines very now. The staff is great in each department I’ve been involved with, as a volunteer worker, member / client . ••• Above the 4 stories of office/admin, are 15 + with 81-unit social/non-market housing building for those living with HIV/AIDS . ••• This mixed-use development was funded by developer fees aims to help the city’s most vulnerable residents: singles, couples, families, & seniors. ••• In addition to new housing stock, the non-profit office space in the base of the building is dedicated to community-based organizations (ie. AIDS Vancouver). ••• The entire project – both land & construction – cost $28.28 million, entirely funded by community amenity contributions. Wall Financial Corp. contributed $23.6 million for rezoning of 1300 Richards St., with remainder provided by Downtown South Development Cost Levies for replacement housing. ••• iPhone photos by @christopherlylesmall @smallstudiodesign — of Exterior of the AIDS Vancouver building at 1105 Seymour Street, from Emery Barnes Park, Yaletown. #aids • #worldaifsday2020 • #worldaidsday • #aidsvancouver • #volunteer • #donatetoday • #skylinesyvr • #smallstudiodesign • (at AIDS Vancouver) https://www.instagram.com/p/CISh5eihIwn/?igshid=1kcxj6jdxb0kt

Coastal Conditionals: Zen (禅) • “... it’s so lovely to just walk + not know ...” — Byron Katie ••• Zen 禅 — a Japanese school of Mahayana Buddhism emphasizing the value of #meditation & intuition. ••• Walk without predetermined destination or purpose — For many this helps free the mind & body beyond the confines of daily stress. ••• I’m a fan of Byron Katie & The Work. Born: Byron Kathleen Mitchell, Byron Katie, is an American speaker & author who teaches a method of self-inquiry known as "The Work of Byron Katie" or simply as "The Work." ••• The Work is a Practice — “Every time you do The Work you become #enlightened to who & what you are, the true nature of being. To question what you believe is an amazing gift to give yourself, & you can have it all the days of your life. The answers are always inside you, just waiting to be heard.” — thework.com ••• iPhone photos/videos by @smallstudiodesign featuring: excerpts from @byron.katie & @maekengo ••• #zen • #walking • #walkingmeditation • #thework • #byronkatie • #coastalconditionals • #zenlikehell #smallstudiodesign • (at Spanish Banks) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIP20-zBOp5/?igshid=117ufeblvqp30
