It is more than their land that you take away from the people, whose native land you take. it is their past as well, their roots and their identity. if you take away the things that they have been used to see and will be expecting to see, you may, in a way, as well take their eyes.

It Is More Than Their Land That

Isak Dinesen
It is more than their land that you take away from the people, whose native land you take. it is their past as well, their roots and their identity. if you take away the things that they have been used to see and will be expecting to see, you may, in a way, as well take their eyes.

More From Isak Dinesen

The identity of just one thing, the "clash of civilization" view that you're a muslim or a hindu or a buddhist or a christian, i think that's such a limited way of seeing humanity, and schools have the opportunity to bring out the fact that we have hundreds of identities. we have our national identity. we have our cultural identity, linguistic identity, religious identity. yes, cultural identity, professional identity, all kinds of ways.

Consider a tree for a moment. as beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. but we don't see the roots. we just see and enjoy the beauty. in much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.

I see that i am inwardly fashioned for faith and not for fear. fear is not my native land; faith is. i am so made that worry and anxiety are sand in the machinery of life; faith is oil. i live better by faith and confidence than by fear and doubt and anxiety. in anxiety and worry my being is gasping for breath - these are not my native air. but in faith and confidence i breath freely - these are my native air.

When europeans arrived on this continent, they blew it with the native americans. they plowed over them, taking as much as they could of their land and valuables, and respecting almost nothing about the native cultures. they lost the wisdom of the indigenous peoples-wisdom about the land and connectedness to the great web of life...we have another chance with all these refugees. people come here penniless but not cultureless. they bring us gifts. we can synthesize the best of our traditions with the best of theirs. we can teach and learn from each other to produce a better america.

Land taxes is the thing. they got so high that there is no chance to make anything. not only land but all property tax. you see in the old days, why the only thing they knew how to tax was land, or a house. well, that condition went along for quite awhile, so even today the whole country tries to run its revenue on taxes on land. they never ask if the land makes anything. "it's land ain't it? well tax it then."

Music [is] the third rail of life. you grabbed it to shock yourself out of the dull drag of hours. to feel something. to burn with all the emotions you didn't get to experience in the ordinary run of school, tv, and loading the dishwasher after dinner.
