the Garden

Teaching people how

to break the old patterns.

***
See, this is how it was:

Long ago, when we were becoming the kind of humans we are now,
people got REALLY LUCKY and lived in a place where nature was so bounteous and everything was so plentiful that we NEVER had to struggle, never had to work.

Fruit fell from the trees, it was always warm, fish leaped into our open hands to be eaten.

There was plenty of everything for everybody, and we became insanely healthy and happy.

And then: We had too many babies.

And there were too many people.

And what was once ENOUGH,

became NOT enough.

So people had to move away, to make room, to find new resources.

It turned out that the place we’d lucked onto at the beginning was the best place we were ever going to find.

That’s why we call it

the GARDEN.
