It's one of a collection of works done to build relations between Canadian Native and African communities. After a series of droughts and famines in Sub-Saharan Africa during the 1980s. studies of aid donor lists showed there had been an extraordinary response o

“We’ve probably all heard that traditional Chinese women were basically powerless, and only started to claim their rights with the
dawn of Westernization. But there’s another side of Chinese tradition, where the folklore is rich in goddesses, immortal women, and female heroes.”

“It was St. Francis who made the first Christmas menagerie, which portrayed the animals coming to kneel before the baby Jesus. Some people think it’s the most beautiful image Christian civilization ever produced.”

“I remember one exchange that shook me from a daydream, as somebody said that real Christians trust the Bible more than
human reason. “Then why,” another replied, “did Jesus ask ‘Why can’t you decide for yourselves what is right?’” (Luke 12:57) The answer was, “We can’t because we’re sinners.”

“Pets, he says, are trapped in a state from which there is no escape. “Domestication has essentially created a mentally disabled child bred to be dependent on us. My dogs will never get to the point where they’ll become wolves and live the way they’re supposed to live.” We wonder why our pets are neurotic, he says, why dogs chew themselves raw and cats shred the drapes. “It’s because they’re not supposed to be living with us. They exist in this netherworld between humans and animals.”

“This pattern seemed to offer those being rebuffed an opportunity to become more conscious of what quality in them might be unattractive to the dolphins, a quality they would benefit from correcting.”

“We have, as human beings, a storytelling problem. We're a bit too quick to come up with explanations for things we don't really have an explanation for.”
