Remind us again about "Freedom".......

He kept fading in and out of the right mindset for such an experience. With a Starbucks in hand he walked across the dark field that would soon be the battlefield. After all…..the Brits were in fact coming.

Clearly a David and Goliath sort of event, as the well trained British were sent to maintain their control over the new lands and the quickly changing citizenry. Yes this rag tag militia was comprised of farmers who were fed up with control from across the pond. This was clearly the early stages of insurgency and terrorism.

Amazing what a quick relearn of our founding ways will remind us of who we really are as a people, and more importantly, what this concept of freedom really embraces.

By coincidence, the author of a new read titled “Eaarth” (with two a’s) was born and raised in New England and includes a brief chapter on these moments in our national history. Of particular interest is how it relates to our current dilemma regarding our national identity, and the exhaustion of our current over consumptive and destructive patterns as citizens of this planet.
