This Monday, October 15th, is Blog Action Day, an initiative for bloggers to unite and put a single important issue on people's minds. This year's issue: The Environment. Participating is simple: Just write in your journal as your normally would, but with the environment theme in mind. Find out more ways to get involved with this experiment at the Blog Action Day website.

In support of Blog Action Day, John Batdorf is making available this song, that he wrote with Michael McLean (available on the CD, "The Early Years"), called Borrowing, available for discerning readers and listeners here:
Lyrics:
Borrowing
by John Batdorf and Michael McLean (c) 1994
BatMac Music (BMI)
and Shining Star Music (ASCAP)
We have not inherited the earth
From our parents when they gave us birth
We are borrowing the sea and land
From our children and their children's children
There's some wisdom engraved in stone
That stands alone on the road not taken.
It's a voice crying from the dust
To all of us in every generation
And it begs us to reconsider
The debt we owe the future
What every borrower should know, oh oh
We have not inherited the earth
From our parents when they gave us birth
We are borrowing the sea and land
From our children and their children's children
Unborn spirit's lay a claim
To the earth that we have borrowed from them
Masquerading as human need
Is all the greed that's fueling the fire
Of American dreams we've dreamed,
That somehow seem so uninspired
In the making of all the choices
who champion's the voices
Of those the earth is borrowed from.....
We have not inherited the earth
From our parents when they gave us birth
We are borrowing the sea and land
From our children and their children's children
Unborn spirit's lay a claim
To the earth that we have borrowed from them
We have not inherited the earth
From our parents when they gave us birth
We are borrowing the sea and land
From our children and their children's children
Unborn spirit's lay a claim
To the earth that we have borrowed from them
