Cooksville Creek, from microseasons to this millennium
Sunday, 4 May 2025 | 2:00 p.m. | John C. Price Playground to oldest(??) black walnut in City Centre
Let’s take a walk along Mississauga’s Cooksville Creek, as an exercise in traveling deep, and not far—across both time and space.
Let’s have conversations about what brings us—people, peoples, and place; humans and nonhumans; ancestors and future kin—together; about portals to an alternate, actually-existing Mississauga; about inhabiting a place; and about water.

Le Guin: selected passages
Paminsanang pagsasalin / Occasional translations, no. 1
Sa sandaling matutunan mo ang managinip nang lubusang gising,
na ibalanse ang kamalayan hindi sa talim ng pangangatwiran
ngunit sa dobleng katig ng katwiran at panaginip;
sa sandaling matutunan mo ito,

Ursula K. Le Guin, Ang Ngalan ng Sanlibutan Ay Gubat

to balance your sanity not on the razor’s edge of reason
but on the double support, the fine balance, of reason and dream;
once you have learned that,
you cannot unlearn it any more than you can unlearn
to think.
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Word for World is Forest
At ang baylan at ang magdaragat ay hindi nalalayo;
kapwang naghahabi ng kapangyarihan ng langit at laot,
hinihubog ang hangin sa habi at haplos at hawak,
nilalayag papalapit kung ano ang dating malayo.
Ursula K. Le Guin, Ang Pinakamalayong Baybayin
“And mage and sailor are not so far apart;
both work with the powers of sky and sea,
and bend great winds to the uses of their hands,
bringing near what was remote.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Farthest Shore
