Hank Talk Comin'

Just to let you know, I've spoken with Hank and we're talking soon. My goal is to convince him to let me take care of some of his cows that he puts on the property we're staying on in exchange for a lot of meat - perhaps a cow.

I get to learn, he gets more pasture. Oh, and more meat for my omnivorous children.

Maybe you could buy a cow, I'll grow it and we'll split it like an Abrahamic covenant party? What do you say?

I'm interested, but don't skimp us on our share of the big bowl of blood.

"It is essential to cultivate and spread a clear ethic that is up to the task of addressing current challenges: Everyone should educate themselves in more wise and responsible consumption; promote personal responsibility, along with the social dimension of rural activities, which are based on perennial values, such as hospitality, solidarity, and the sharing of the toil of labor. More than a few young people have already chosen this path; also many professionals are returning to dedicate themselves to the agricultural enterprise, feeling that they are responding not only to a personal and family need, but also to a 'sign of the times,' to a concrete sensibility for the 'common good.'

"Let us pray to the Virgin Mary that these reflections can serve as a stimulus to the international community, while we give our thanks to God for the fruits of the earth and the work of man."

Pope Benedict XVI
