Agriculture leads us to science; Husbandry, to religion; Gathering, to art; Hunting, to philosophy. In our most basic habitude, we are on the hunt for “Why?” while gathering new expressions from dwelling in the world.

Ah, but fear is strong. Looking ever over our shoulder, we seek to ensure and certify the future. The need for Security turns us into our own crop ready for the reaping and our own herd ready for the slaughter.

Letting-go of the obsession with certainty, we liberate ourselves from the compulsion of accumulation. Possessing our own selves, we have no need to consume the world.

Gather your dwelling today.

Hunt your singularity today.

Tomorrow will care for itself, even as yesterday has already done.
