More From James Larkin

This was mahatma gandhi’s idea, moving from ownership to relationship—seeing that land does not belong to us. we belong to the land. we are not the owners of the land. we are the friends of the land, like friends of the earth. the fundamental shift is in this consciousness that land does not belong to us, we belong to the land.
Moving Land Ideas
Fate is a misplaced retreat. many people rationalize an unexplained event as fate and shrug their shoulders when it occurs. but that is not what fate is. the world operates as a series of circles that are invisible, for they extend to the upper air. fate is where these circles cut to earth. since we cannot see them, do not know their content, and have no sense of their width, it is impossible to predict when these cuts will slice into our reality. when this happens, we call it fate. fate is not a chance event but one that is inevitable, we are simply blind to its nature and time.
Cutting Fate Reality
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."
Running Country Real
What i used to respect was not really aristocracy, but a set of personal qualities which aristocracy then developed better than any other system . . . a set of qualities, however, whose merit lay only in a psychology of non-calculative, non-competitive disinterestedness, truthfulness, courage, and generosity fostered by good education, minimum economic stress, and assumed position, and just as achievable through socialism as through aristocracy.

It's not me, it's the songs. i'm just the postman, i deliver the songs. when i first heard elvis' voice, i knew that i wasn't going to work for anybody ... hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail. this land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway. people today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. they are still being passed around - the music and the ideas.
Running Song Busting Out
As i went walking i saw a sign there and on the sign it said "no trespassing." but on the other side it didn't say nothing, that side was made for you and me. this land is your land, this land is my land from california to the new york island from the redwood forest to the gulf stream waters this land was made for you and me.

One of those out-of-the-ordinary days that made sense of the slew of ordinary days. new york had a way of doing that. every now and then the city shook its soul out. it assailed you with an image, or a day, or a crime, or a terror, or a beauty so difficult to wrap your mind around that you had to shake your head in disbelief.
