“The central fact remains that our connection to meaning, passion, soulfulness, and the deep nature is something we have to keep watch over. There are many things that try to force, sweep, seduce away… (the handmade life)… seemingly simple things like saying, “I’ll do that dance, planting, hugging, finding, planning, learning, peace-making, cleansing… later.” Traps, all.”
