À propos de cet audio

 From John Borrows, a pioneering legal scholar, educator and member of the Chippewas of the Nawash First Nation, comes a heartfelt book of transformative wisdom on how to achieve the loving life and deep and lasting connections we all yearn for.

John Borrows, who grew up on a farm in southern Ontario, was the first in his family to go to university. When his own daughter was leaving home, he began to write her letters about how to create a fulfilling path through life, drawing on his own experience and learning. Those letters have grown into this captivating memoir and meditation, which deeply engages with the natural world, treaty law and the Anishinaabe teachings about the Seven Cycles of Life that Borrows learned from his elders.

The seven cycles—the Good Life, the Fast Life, the Wondering Life, the Truth Life, the Planning Life, the Doing Life and the Elder Life—describe life's stages, but they aren’t linear; Borrows describes them as swirling together, from childhood to old age, revealing the most complex aspects of existence and the most perennial questions about how to live. His storytelling helps us recognize these seven cycles in our own lives, revealing beauty and meaning in both the mundane and the profound.

Borrows also offers us precious ways to connect with each other and ourselves and to broaden our sense of community to the natural world. He reminds us not to sit comfortably with what we think we know, but to embrace the reality that we are not perfect, and that others are not perfect. If we truly understand human imperfection, he writes, communication and love can flow.

The Seven Cycles of Life is a profound expression of wisdom from an extraordinary man that guides you toward a deeper understanding of how to live with intention, compassion and harmony—simultaneously warming your soul and challenging you to be more than you are.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"In The Seven Cycles of Life, I was immediately drawn into the intimacy, the depth and the shimmering beauty of our shared and layered Nishnaabe ways. John Borrows thinks through our language and alongside our ancestors and towards making futures honouring our differences and based on deep systems of care for each other and our shared planet." —Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, author of Theory of Water: Nishnaabe Maps to the Times Ah


"John Borrows’s The Seven Cycles of Life is a deep dive into Anishinaabe epistemology and cosmology, a story of ways of being that Borrows tells through the highly effective lens of his own upbringing in traditional ways. His book is an invitation to embrace a worldview that offers us a path to living as an integrated part of creation, not as an authority over it. Brilliant, intellectually fascinating, yet also personal and tender, this magnificent work delivers something of value for everyone." —Michelle Good, prize-winning author of Five Little Indians and Truth Telling


"Beautifully lyrical and deeply felt and intellectualized, John has offered a gift to readers that is honest and grounded in all of the senses. This is a book of knowledge told with the generosity, patience and love with which he teaches. The work is a treatise in kindness as it attempts to navigate the spaces in between. Remembering and forgetting. Indigeneity and whiteness. Treaty lives and broken obligations. Spirituality and religion. Humans and more than human relations. Through them all, and more, the work reminds us of the multiplicity of ways to be relational and reminds us that binaries are a cheat code. Be kind. Be curious. Be a good relative. Live a principled approach to existence. As a reader, the gift here is the possibility that we may all avail ourselves of many maps to navigate the in betweens and nuances. We become aware, as those in the field of legal orders and laws have been aware for decades, that there are deeply hopeful possibilities and meaning if we take seriously our relationships to them and to each other." —Tracey Lindberg, author of Birdie, and The Cree Word for Love: Sâkihitowin
