RETURN TO BASICS

They didn’t just sell us convenience. They sold us the idea that exhaustion is normal – and that dependence equals progress.

Somewhere along the way, cooking turned into a chore instead of a ritual. Gardening became a “hobby,” not a birthright. Preserving food shifted from a survival skill to a lifestyle aesthetic.

But that knowledge never disappeared. It was only interrupted. The soil didn’t go anywhere. Seeds still remember what to do.

So do our hands – even if they’re a little rusty at first. You don’t need a farm. You don’t need perfection. You just need to begin. One meal. One plant. One small act of remembering.

The systems built on convenience need us to stay tired. The land doesn’t. And it’s still waiting for us to come back.
