Heart Charlottetown

Peter Rukavina

In Ottawa last month, at the celebration of the life of my late friend Laurie Kingston, each of the chairs in the Glebe Community Centre was adorned with a piece of knitting, created in Laurie’s memory.

We were invited to take these with us at the end of the day, and I put mine inside my bag, where I promptly forgot about it.

Last week, I noticed my bag was starting to get weighed down with various inessentials, so I set to clean it out, and rediscovered the pink heart I’d tucked there in Ottawa.

My new office, being a former Sunday School classroom, has an abundance of bulletin boards, but, at present, not enough thumbtacks. So Laurie’s heart ended up sharing a tack with a partial print of my letterpress map of Charlottetown.

I rather like the way they go together, and I appreciate having a little bit of Laurie’s spirit nearby as I work.
