I want to share some music with you. The musician is Chris Dorman, and he recorded an album called 'To Begin Again' last year. I have been incredibly moved by one the songs on this album. It's called 'Family Farm' and as I am currently connecting with his idea that the 'land is the only thing we have that can support the weight of our lives' I thought I would link you to a page that will play it. Click the title to be taken to a page that will play the song once it opens.
Enjoy.

Thank you deeply for sharing this- what a work of art, what a meditation on our times and condition.
I did have trouble finding the actual song from your link, and I'm so glad that I stuck with it- maybe just link to his Myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/chrisdorman
PS. This song reminds me of a book I got from Santa Cruz Public Library a few years ago, "Family Friendly Farming: A Multi-Generational Home-Based Business Testament" by Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm.
The Judeo-Christian orientation of a few of the chapters won't resonate with everybody, but throughout the book I found hundreds of highlightable passages about how a family can farm together through generations.
Hello Nathan,
I'm glad that it touched you as deeply as it did me. I'll work on the link.
Thanks!
Jessy
