I don't know the origin of the story and that information wasn't in the Facebook post, but I love it.

"There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn.
Every year he won the award for the best grown corn.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.

'How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?' the reporter asked.

'Why sir,' said the farmer, 'Didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn.

If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.'

So it is with our lives…

Those who want to live meaningfully, and well, must help enrich the lives of others, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches.

And those who choose to be happy must help others find happiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all…"

A beautiful story of recognition of Unity

We're having a gathering at the Lincoln Library at 7pm on Wednesday, August 7th to meet some of the Democrat candidates running for Vermont Senator and Representatives.

All are welcome! Let's get to know these wonderful individuals who are willing to represent our community so we can be prepared for the Primary coming right up!
