Buy the farm

Just more evidence that we need to get out of suburban hell one of these days, soon. This is from a sad, true, but nonetheless beautiful article by Perry Mann, on theHuntingtonNews.net. I strongly encourage you to click the link and go read it in it’s entirety:

“Man’s first error was leaving the land, where no man was unemployed, where every child had a place from birth, where men, women and children and ox and horse and all the other domesticated animals comprised a unity of survival, in which they worked together, played together, rejoiced together and sorrowed together; and where they lived under sky and sun, labored in fields and meadows, watched the seasons come and go, stored up in summer against winter, sowed in spring to harvest in fall, honored mother and father and sat at the feet of aged, on and on from generation to generation, knowing in their hearts that even if heaven were a fiction they had known the fullness of living.”
