Rural New Brunswick must stand up and be...
I predict that the future of New Brunswick rests with its local communities. Two decades of globalization following two decades of ‘provincialization’ has left citizens disempowered and communities hamstrung. New pressures of all sorts – economic, social and ecological – are going to make life a lot more difficult in the coming decades. The only way we are going to deal with them is for all...

Letter to the Ruling Class →
You control our world. You’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. We fight in your wars, die for your causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you. You’ve liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bailout your unending greed. We are slaves to your corporations, zombies to your airwaves,...

The world is as sharp as a knife. If you stand on the edge of the circle that is the present moment.What’s inside is knowledge experience: the past. What’s outside has yet to be experienced. The knife’s edge is so fine that you can live either in the past or in the future. The real trick is to live on the edge. A saying among the people of Northwest Canada - The Golden Spruce, John Vaillant

February - Good Oak
There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from a furnace.
To avoid the first danger, one should plant a garden, preferably where there is no grocer to confuse the issue.
To avoid the second, he should lay a split of good oak on the andirons, preferably where there is no furnace, and...

Not my best work
Normally I don’t like to kill things, but lately I’ve found inexplicable pleasure in swatting flies. It is fall in New Brunswick and the house flies are living up to their name. They congregate, buzzing at the windows and on the walls up near the ceiling during the day and at night they buzz around the light bulbs, crashing into things and buzzing buzzing.
They didn’t seem so bad at first, but...

Last night we had a frost
not a very big one
it didn’t do much damage
but we’ll have another one
and it will kill the plants
and they’ll turn back into soil…
…and next year we’ll plant seeds again
and that’s the way it goes.
I have such nice teeth and no one to bite with...

Just call out my name and you know wherever I am I’ll come running to see you again. One week in May, my horoscope said, “when people are truly dehydrated, the impulse that tells them they’re thirsty shuts down. That’s why they may not know they’re suffering from a lack of water. In a metaphorically similar way, Pisces, you have been deprived so long of a certain kind of...
