new year's political message

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Nichinan, Kyushu, 2013.01.01

There is a grass-roots movement building among Canada's first nations people that is purposefully excluding the aboriginal communities' own political leadership as a matter of strategy in order to focus on achieving results, and to take matters into their own hands.

“People seem to feel as though their leaders aren’t working in their best interest or that they simply aren’t getting the job done."

Couldn't have said it better myself. I feel confident that just about anyone, from virtually any locale, would agree with that one.

It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

—Wendell Berry
