Today at the western regional meeting on immigration a rep from the Farm spoke - right toward the end.

As he approached the front of the room, all 300 people began clapping their hands in rythmic unison, chanting "Save - the - Farm!" "Save - the - Farm!"

It was a spontaneous and immense outpouring of love.

I was talking to one of the Farm supporters who was there, and we were joking around about functioning on no sleep - something that seems to happen to Farm supporters sometimes ;-) when suddenly he said, very seriously, they're trying to wear us down, the police, they keep circling in the helicopters - but they'e not going to wear us down...

I said right, because this isn't a movement based on anger, it's one based on love, love for the land and for the community it's gifted us with...

And exhausted as he was, having not slept in a long time, for a moment he was just radiant.
