This is not a results envelope

It's a bookmark on page 2026 of your life,

The result of a moment in time

Marked -

By someone who doesn't know you,

Only the answers to a set of questions

Set to judge you against all others.


You, my daughter, are incomparable,

And like the brightest star in our sky

My world will forever revolve around you,

Regardless of the contents of this envelope.

So open it and let your spirit shine

Because you have achieved so much 

To be proud of.

 The Peace Paradox of Kalaallit Nunaat In Primary School in the Western world we learn the names of continents and our countries are marked out with lolly-stick flags stuck together with pva glue. We are taught to pin our dreams safely to soft, cork-boarded maps, and sail across peaceful waters in triangle-shaped boats into circular suns by means of our ever-expanding imaginations. — To these children Greenland is an icy island in the Arctic Ocean, perhaps where Father Christmas lives, near the North Pole. In Secondary School in the Western world we learn topographical terms, the names of native cultures and the ways in which our countries made their marks on history as leaders of the free world, including slavery, wars and alliance building. We’re taught to dream like Martin Luther King did and to question the norm, to build a better future for our own children. — To the next generation Greenland is marked out as an island of peace in a sea of troubles; an example of how historica...
