On this most American of holiday's I thought it fitting to post This Land Is Your Land by Woodie Guthrie. This video seemed the right version of the most famous folk song, with an intro by Studs Terkel full of gusto and encouragement for us to take pride in ourselves and our individuality. Performed by Judy Collins, Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie and Fred.
There are many ways to look at Thanksgiving...and though many of them are dark...and true...we cannot change the past. So, focus with me if you will on the blessings...inspired contributions are made daily in devotion to our diversity and unity. Thanksgiving celebrates this conscious harmony and that is something for which we can all be thankful.
Rapt in Beats and Love,
