Can’t wait to dive into these books!

Wandering around the Historic Gardens in Annapolis Royal recharged my batteries today.
The missing
I’ve been obsessed with finding the missing lately. All the podcasts dealing with the missing are queued up on my device. Recently I listening to the CBC podcast, Finding Cleo with Connie Walker. It was heartbreaking but so real. We should be all made to listen to the terrible tragedies that have happened to the indigenous people of Canada. Governments we elected have done wrong. Police agencies fail these people daily.
So one day I was on another missing persons site and a little face on a missing poster staring back that me connected with something inside of me. Compelling me to look further. She had a name Diane Lee Todd, 18 years old.
With little information to go on I search around a bit more and find out what she was wearing when she went missing.
No other picture is available and when I searched ancestry there was a birth but nothing else. I searched year books from schools around Annandale. No other photos have been found.
It struck me as sad that a young girl could disappear and there’s no activity ongoing to find out what happened to her. No pleas from parents or newspaper articles at the time talking about her disappearance. I searched Jane doe sites looking for a possible match and came across this reconstructed skull.
Her bone structure is similar. So many things are missing. This skull had to teeth, so no evidence of braces.
I reached out to some podcaster a and websleuth’s online forum and posted both pictures there.
Anyone have any more ideas?

WIP
This shawl has taken ages. Sometimes I wish I was the type of person to follow a pattern and not adapt it….but I’m not…and I usually end up doing my own thing. 
I love the color way and that’s what usually sends me astray. I think the pattern I chose is too fussy for this color way. Can’t wait until I’m finished.

Around the corner
Around the corner
I smell it before I see it,
It’s nearer than I think,
I know I can’t ignore it,
I know it won’t leave,
I can’t afford the sorrow it brings,
I can’t change its crimes.
It won’t give it a rest,
It’s out of its mind.

Disaster creeps
Heavy disaster
The air
is heavy
around my head.
The weight is
trying to
Break me.
Disaster creeps
and crash’s
head on.
Time doesn’t
heal.
Dread is always there.
Down,
low,
in my soul.
Weeping.

Mittens I designed
I couldn’t find a pattern I liked so I made up my own:)
Lullaby
Lullaby
We are lulled,
led like children.
Transfixed,
by the music,
of the pied piper.
We become blind.
Can’t decide,
what is reality,
and what is not.
What it is,
is a passing flame,
extinguished by
the lightest breath.
Light returns to dark.
The dark relief.
