buy. Instead, found necessities—work, play, and everything else—waiting for us— laundry cooking cleaning rearranging struggle sport sustenance infrastructure the smell of cut grass rest sunlight cloud the sway of a hammock the voice of victory over radio the taste of fresh vegetables—all waiting. And rewarded us in finding them. No one took anything from us that day, no one fought with us, no one stood before us. Just us, just quiet us, engaged, pursuing, pursued.
the stars were made for you
and you are made for the stars
climb
to the (extra)ordinary
where it is decided
where we coalesce
we emerge from light into less light
when the unexpected Thing is there with us, we no longer are in the expected Country, but a new place. even the simplest alteration—hair, bare feet, a bed turned upside down—outlines a new map, if your eyes and hands are new. even the worn down tracks pressed into earth by ancient feet are just so much new ground to the young.
spend a day barefoot
spend a lifetime--feel the whole thing changing, every corner a border, all skin undiscovered territory, every moment endless

Your stars and sun shaped light are lovely. And your praxis captures the beauty of everyday life that is always waiting for anyone to discover.
Where am I? Out in the aforementioned hammock?
I know, it's like you were avoiding having your picture taken every time! You note I mention the fresh cut grass...
It was our everyday life, though. So you can edit this if you want to!
I love how you guys are all sharing a row on the leaderboard.
