      I

      I
     
     
      missed
      hearing
      people
      say,
      "So
      you're
     
     
      from
      away?"
      I
      missed
      jaywalking.

      the
      low-key
      comfort
      I
      feel
      when
      I
     
     
      leave
      my
      house.
      I
      missed
      potatoes!
      As
     
     
      much
      as
      I
      loved
      the
      buskers
      at
      the
      subway
     
     
      stations,
      the
      intense
      wealth
      of
      dance
      and
     
     
      theatre,
      the
      variety
      of
      foods
      and
      clothing
     
     
      stores,
      and
      the
      openness
      to
      everything
     
     
      extraordinary,
      I
      me
      the
      world
      of
      the
     
     
      Island
      more.
      :
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      started
      up
      a
      coriversation
      with
      a
     
    
   
   
    
     
      girl
      who
      went
      to
      Mount
      Allison,
      but
      who
     
    
   
   
    
     
      was
      originally
      from
      the
      Prairies.
      She
      said
      _
     
    
   
   
    
     
      that
      she
      had
      travelled
      everywhere,
      across
     
     
      Canada,
      the
      U.S.,
      All
      over
      Europe,
      some
     
     
      areas
      of
      Asia,
      and
      beyond,
      but
      there
      is
     
    
   
   
    
     
      something
      timeless
      about
      the
      Maritimes.
     
     
      It's
      one
      of
      the
      only
      places
      left
      in
      the
      world
     
     
      that
      has
      gone
      almost
      entirely
      untouched.
     
    

    
     
      We
      are
      modern
      but
      traditional.
     
     
      We
      hold
      strong
      to
      our
      roots
      but
      push
      ~
     
    
   
   
    
     
      -
      towards
      higher
      standards
      of
      living.
      We're
     
    
   
   
    
     
      confident
      in
      our
      heritage
      and
      will
      progress
     
     
      at
      our
      own
      leisurely
      pace.
      There
      is
      no
      need
     
     
      to
      be
      in
      a
      rush.

      progresses
      at
     
     
      its
      own
      natural
      pace,
      and
      so
      do
      we.
      The
     
    

    
     
      Island
      is
      who
      we
      are,
      whether
      we
      live
      here

      No
