Sunday was very different than any other day of our trip so far. When we arrived back at Radcliffe, we began to set up for a special performance of Map of My Kingdom by poet laureate Mary Swander. After completing our duties of handing our programs and ushering, we sat down to enjoy the one-person performance. The show was about the transference of land from generation to generation and the various problems that accompany that transition. The play touched on family turmoil over having to decide who gets the farm. There were stories about family members killing each other or losing their livelihood over the decision of who gets the farm. I was really surprised that a lot of the play alluded to organic farming. There were mentions of leaving the earth better than you found it and protecting God’s creation. These comments seemed almost slipped in. As I was watching the play, I could not help glancing around at the people of Radcliffe. We have spent enough time here for me to notice that a large amount of the farmers here farm conventionally. This means that they do not use organic practices and they use GMOs and pesticides. I watched to see how they were reacting to the comments. There were some crossed arms and frowning but no overt reactions. After the show there was a talk back after where Mary Swander spoke a bit about the show and the message the show conveyed. She did not talk about the comments about organic farming. There was not even a slight mention of it. This was probably for the best because the farmers might have felt personally attacked.
