An Invitation

In a world of walls and barriers, people are overlooking out simple connections. We are consumed by our fear of what is different. We have a long history of fearing the unknown. Douglas Adams said something along the lines of "...it's a sad world when you suspect a neighbour's wave."


I'm going out to clean the pasture spring;
I'll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch the water clear, I may):
I sha'n't be gone long.-You come too.

I'm going out to fetch the little calf
That's standing by the mother. It's so young,
It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I sha'n't be gone long.-You come too.

-The Pasture, Robert Frost
