Back to the Land

Only the mistakes are ours. In this world, beauty is common.

                        - Jorge Luis Borges

Men are like plants; the goodness and flavor of the fruit proceeds from the peculiar soil
and exposition in which they grow. we are nothing but what we derive from. The air we breath,
the climate we inhabit, the government we obey, the system of religion we profess and
the nature of our employment.

                        - Letters from an American Farmer -
                        J. hector St. John De Crevecour


The land! that is where our roots are. There is the basis of our phyisical life.
The farther we get away from the land, the greater our insecurity. From the land
comes everything that supports life, everything we use for the serive of physical life.
The land has not collapsed or shrunk in either extent of productivity. It is there waiting
to honor all the labor we are willing to invest in it, and able to tide us across any local
dislocation of economic conditions. No unemployment insurance can be compared to
an alliance between man and a plot of land.

                        - Henry Ford


I am taking on what Abe Lincoln once described the greatest fine art of the future.
I’m moving towards growth, life, land love and community.

The path is set.
The outcome unknown.
From this point forward all actions are for this movement. All love is given equally and shared joyfully.



Growth and Love
