<<--See Also: Inflicting Pain and DiscomfortI thought that I would give nod to one of the best commercials that is currently showing on television. Have you seen the movie Pay It Forward? Liberty Mutual came out with a commercial in which a series of individuals does some small act of kindness after witnessing their predecessors doing the same. Eventually it loops around to the original do-gooder. The commercial first came to my attention when my ears picked up, "I am holding half an acre torn from the map of Michigan." Hearing the word Michigan in a song is something I don't experience very often. The song is called "Half Acre" by Hem. Whenever I see this commercial come on, I honestly feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
I am holding half an acre
Torn from the map of Michigan
And folded in this scrap of paper
Is the land I grew in
Think of every town you've lived in
Every room you lay your head
And what is it that you remember
Do you carry every sadness with you
Every hour your heart was broken
Every night the fear and darkness
Lay down with you
A man is walking on the highway
A woman stares out at the sea
And light is only now just breaking
So we carry every sadness with us
Every hour our hearts were broken
Every night the fear and darkness
Lay down with us
But I am holding half an acre
Torn from the map of Michigan
I am carrying this scrap of paper
That can crack the darkest sky wide open
Every burden taken from me
Every night my heart unfolding
My home
