I am currently working on a manuscript that delves into the essence of the most noble group of people I have come across. In the past, my own prejudice had blinded me to their grace. Slowly, I am realising that their hardships are reflections of my hardships and their dreams are my reality. I want them to dream of more than a stable home or the confidence to stand tall with the full knowledge of their history--one that is unblemished by the sclerotic hand of revisionist history and institutional corruption. These are harsh words when you realise who I am talking about.
I am compelled to write about the injustices visited upon the First Nations' people of Canada by the government of Canada and us, Canadians. Whether I will be a voice lost in the wind will be for time to tell.
Prior to my blog, I would vent my thoughts to people who dared sit next to me or engage me in conversation. Now, I can record my thoughts and be brought to account if I backslide.
A short blog today. A reminder to myself that I have started a journey and I must finish it. I can only offer a manuscript. Hopefully it becomes a book that touches people. I aim to have it available in spring, 2017 if all goes well.
