Bowen Island resident and friend Ellen Hayakawa has written a piece in Common Ground about her family's experience with nuclear weapons at Hiroshima. The article is called The Day the Bomb Dropped on Hiroshima.
Bowen Island is 20 square miles of rock lying two miles off the west coast of Canada. It is home to 3700 people, three mountains, two valleys, four lakes, about 15 beaches, two species of salmon, one village and me and my family.
"To chart this land hanging over ten thousand inlets and a distant mind as of many narrows, an impossible thing - no music sounds as many changes with such common theme."
