Well done. John Bunyan was another who took his craft of tinkering and his Bible and changed the world. One translation has Jesus telling His disciples: “As you are going, take the Gospel with you.” Nothing against going to Darkest Africa but there was, and is, a place to pack the Good News in your lunch box and take it to the guy you work next to.
I suspect you are an old soul, my friend. You write with an effortless ease of style, and your sentiments stir the soul. Beautifully said. "two strapped canoes, his seeds, and his bible," changed America. Thank you for reminding us of our noble patrimony.
I find this piece relevant to myself as I'm now stuck into the process of buying a home. Going from renting, living shoulder to shoulder with others in some city which looks the same anywheres in the US, to a property with space, both inside and out has been affording me a sense of this 'Appleseed' phenomena. Of the properties I'm looking at, there will be sufficient acreage to develop both crops (orchards coincidentally enough, I just love apples) and livestock. Having this property, this home and land certainly, I find, unshackles you from the afflictions of modernity. Thanks for publishing this piece Prude and OGC!

Yes, and the soil. Much material there.
