my ancestors, the "children of peace"

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2012.05.23

I see from the historical records that a certain idiosyncrasy runs in the family, and I am pleased.

I don't share much in common with my deeply religious ancestors, save perhaps an interest in music and a willingness to work on projects. But I admire what they attempted. Well, the upper Canada rebellion has come to be derided and mocked, but it's the community and its message that seemed admirable.

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.
