"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." --Buckminster Fuller
Life On A Farm
"Yes, we are part of the world, and the world is within us as we are within an alive and enormous network of being that looks back at us. To perceive this is at once so profound and also simple. It begins with the most obvious everyday things around you." Luanne Armstrong has been living on the same farm for sixty years. Wandering this land each day, she has come to realize that the more she knows about it, the less she understands it. In this piece, she reflects on a life lived among the grass and creatures of the wild, and sheds light on questions about how we, as humans, communicate with and translate the natural world.
BE THE CHANGE
Acknowledge the world around you by saying hello to the grass, a plant or an animal.
