“If you don't know where you are, you don't know who you are.” -Wendell Berry
There is a lot packed into those three little words for season 16: where we are.
-
Where is “where” in time and space? Sitting in the sun in northern New England or on the ancestral and unceded land of N’Dakinna or of the Massachusett people?
-
Who is “we?” A community with a connection and compassion for all, or individuals making their own way and climbing their own ladder?
-
What is the reality of “are”? What about where we are not? What is happening where we are?
So there are a lot of questions to explore this year. What we know is that if we ever have any hope of coming to an understanding of who we are, we first must know where we are.
