Born 1752 as a Friend. Reborn 1776 as a foe. Reawakened as what in 2026?
More detailsSomewhere in the deep, mysterious genome memorium, ancient voices scream into an abyss of violence.
With a light touch, open heart, audacity, courage.
What lays dormant that holds relevancy, still?
What now of our collective?
Our here and now?
Our shared morality?
As usual, wisdom is held in unexpected and unlikely vessels.
Mowing The Lawns unearths this potential through the sweet donkey.
It may serve as a path for all of us here, watching the unrelenting burning of a peoples and place almost as old as time. Maybe .
Maybe not.
Could be worth the ride, it’s a donkey.
