4.16.21 / lost land connection

When life is loud and distracted and fast-moving

reflection is in the shadowed background

behind a veil unenergized.

We can miss many quiet signals.

Fortunately some left breadcrumb trails of art for us to align.

I believe humans’ agrarian core lost connection to cyclical Nature when industrialization + global trade captivated our motivations.

We dulled the consequences of creating suffering and decimated life into a cost calculation.

The outcome is a population separated from an ancient truth: everyone needs to know the people growing their households’ food.

We can trade in networks and find what a consultant would call synergies. That can only come after we each, individually, craft a way to return to true, honest relationship with Nature. If we do this we have a shot at succeeding - in changing course.

the compost pile in the photo above is an initial step toward food security, and an energetic investment in the well-being of ourselves, our neighborhood and everyone we are able to help eat.
