Been sitting with "This Land Is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie lately and it just hits different. Just people and the land we all share. At its core it's a song about us — all of us — and the idea that none of this belongs to any one person. It belongs to everyone. From the redwood forests to the gulf stream waters, Guthrie wasn't singing about ownership. He was singing about love. Love for the dirt under your feet, love for the stranger walking the same road. The whole song is a reminder that we're stronger together, that collectivism isn't a scary word — it's just people looking out for each other. No crowns needed. This land was made for you and me.
Do you have a favorite song that celebrates when we are at our best as collective of people?
