interesting quote to think about

[Guest guest]

This struck me as relevant to our efforts to increase our sense of community

with each other.

 

 

"We step into the future with less connection to ancestral guidance than any

human generation before us. Although we have invented amazing technologies for

saving data, we are at risk of forgetting our personal, family and cultural

stories. We broadcast our voices over vast distances, but talk less to our

neighbours. Haunting these changes are the spectres of continuing violence,

planetary degradation and, above all, the danger that we'll come to believe the

implacable message of the powerful: that resistance is futile. The old stories

teach us that resistance is never futile"

 

--Dan Yashinsky, American-born storyteller and writer, "Suddenly They Heard

Footsteps", 2004
