Beyond Samarkand

In continuing my habit of not writing and just posting videos, I wanted to share some Cat Stevens. Cat Stevens was a big influence on my early life. His music seemed pervasive, and was often my music of choice when I was under 12. This particular song always seemed like useful advice to me, and I realized it at an early age. Not that I followed the advice. At least, not until now.

"Government of the people, by the people, for the people has not perished from this earth." The intro made me cry. I have really felt, for the last six years, that America was not the country I believed in, or even what I had been taught to believe it was supposed to be. Here's hoping for a new start.
