For the people of the United States it is a holiday weekend, celebrating Independence Day. Piglet is pictured here aboard a facsimile of the Mayflower ship in Plymouth MA. He is dreaming of a country that lives up to the ideals that motivated its founders, and he is humming a little ditty that goes like this:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me.
There is always hope. As Rabbi Tarphon wrote, you are not obliged to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it.
