S1E52 What's Really Important? Reflections After Witnessing A Motorcycle Accident
Channel: The Homestead Journey
Date: 19/10/2020

There is no question that we currently live in a very polarized society.  We are polarized politically and culturally.  Throw in the COVID-19 pandemic and a contentious presidential election and it feels like things are almost at a boiling point.  Relationships with both friends and family are being fractured as a result.  On Friday afternoon, I witnessed a motorcycle accident as I was getting ready to pull out of my driveway, returning to work after my lunch break. What I witnessed in the aftermath is that none of that stuff mattered.  People didn't care whether or not the rider was Democrat or Republican or Libertarian or Independent.  People didn't care whether he was pro-Trump or pro-Biden.  No one cared about his positions on hot button topics such as abortion, guns, drugs, or war.  None of that mattered.  People saw a human being in need and rallied to fight for his life.  These are my reflections as I have been processing this over the weekend.

I also share with you the exciting trip we took to pickup our newest boar, Boris.  Trust me when I tell you that getting him loaded into the trailer was a ADVENTURE.

Enjoy!!
