I did not get proper notification on this comment. You should contact me soon! Now, referring to the dream, the idea was not so much about the landed gentry; it was about stewardship, and the old stewards being tired and ready to give to new leadership, new stewardship. Hope to hear from you soon! Bob Jake, Sorry I am so slow in reply. I did not get proper notification on this comment. You should contact me soon!

That's amazing that you had that powerful dream, and then you met that old manor lord later on your vacation. Have you been in contact with him since? The idea of the old lord that paid folks to build a wall in order to feed them is interesting and poignant. Being an American and a Patriot, it's hard for me to "get behind" the notion of a feudal system, even if there were some lords in the old days who took care of their local peasantry, rather than abusing and exploiting them. I've often thought that the rich people in this country of ours have such an opportunity to be "good lords" of their communities and townships, but few take it on. I suppose there are a lot of good people out there doing good things for others less fortunate, it's just that it's more behind-the-scenes than we think. I've always admired someone who does good works secretly, rather than advertising it a la corporate giving (i.e. Ronald McDonald House), so I suppose it isn't fair for me to think the worst of folks. Hopefully there are many rich Americans who do things for others every day, it's just that one doesn't hear about it because they don't rush forward to receive the credit for their works.
