More than carbohydrates, fats and proteins, living beings need minerals to become. The minerals are called forth from the soil and gather around the life force vortices and spirals forming a towering sunflower and the creeping Hairy vetch. And, of course, us.
It is not enough to eat, even the best of foods.
We must move.
All the time.
But how to move? Following muscles? No, doing work. And, the muscles will follow forming and becoming the you you need to do the work.
And, what work?
Holding a deafening machine to blow leaves across a driveway to be vacuumed up?
No.
Rake them, All of them and then rake some more.
One of the guests from the soup kitchen in Boston educated a group of youth working here some years ago on the proper technique of raking..."Don't let the work do you, you do the work." He proceeded to show them how to hold the rake with one hand in the middle, the hand with the arm for pulling and the other hand at the top of the handle as a guide. "Stand upright", he warned or your body will be injured..."The work will do you in."
The human body is uniquely designed to do work but the industrial revolutionary movement (not being used in a positive sense but as the idea of a full revolution, a 180º turn from where we were) was hell bent on 'time saving devices' which made us cease all the big and tiny daily movements engaged in for taking care of our homes, animals, food, children, etc...
We stopped just, justified, full of meaning...meaningful moving and became muscle bound. We started going to gyms to 'build' ourselves...for what? An image? To play only a game? Certainly no longer for work.
One memory I have embedded in my psyche, a very powerful image which still guides, forms and informs me, is from my 4th grade class in Singapore at the Singapore American School of a man who came to sweep the classroom floors. He squatted and moved and twisted deftly between the rows of desks and chairs, a dancer with a hand held, homemade sweeper, not quite a broom, not quite a dustbin brush, but a very effectively formed mover of dirt and debris left behind by 20 uniform clad 9 and 10 year olds including pencil stubs which he then carefully extracted from the pile. They still had pencil life. By the way, I pick up every 'discarded' pen and pencil I see as I walk about the boarding high school campus where i work. These pens and pencils are deposited into jars in my classroom and the students freely take what they need oblivious to the reality that it may have been their own long lost implement. And, I sweep and wash my floors squatting with a hand held broom or a wrung out rag.
We need to work. We must work.
And, we must remineralize the Earth.
It is not enough to add back 3 inches of compost yearly before planting which we have done since arriving here in 1993.
We must add minerals which we do through broadcasting a mineral blend over the gardens and fields. Learn more from The Bionutrient Institute: https://www.bionutrientinstitute.org/mission.
Let's move again, remineralize the Earth and become, come into being.
