The Extra Mile

At 85 years old, Oom Hollie embodies the spirit of Ubuntu, "I am who I am because of who we are." Known as The Iron Man because of the strength and resilience of his body, mind and spirit, he and his family suffered great loss many years ago. With the support of their community they were able to move forward and thrive. He is in love with the land and with growing food, not for profit but to share it with others. He lives gratefully each day motivated by an awareness that "one man's happiness is another's and one man's loss is another's."

What an amazing man Oom Hollie is traditional farming the traditional way . There needs to be more people like this man . He is very wise & has a heart of gold. Communities need to help one another like the villagers in the community where Oom lived helped repair his home when their house was struck by lightning & then a fire ðŸ”¥. I'm glad Oom & his wife made it out alive . Thank you for sharing this .

It reminds me of time spent everywhere I go when I'm fully aware. From the great lakes regions of the U.S. to the plains of Kansas and all across our great land even within the slums of Los Angeles you will find a love between people of all ethnicity, religions and even ages who share a value and common love for each other. Only those who choose not to see it never will.
