Even something more simple like picking and eating wild blueberries in the fields as a kid, the blueberries tasted better, juicier and more nourishing….Now, they are mass produced and enhanced but, not the same.
I value appreciate the insight and depth of your reflections. The clarity that grief brings to these artisans and those that are noticing. I see the complexity of the loom as it relates to our systems. I often marvel at how aligned we are with where our food comes from and fail to give the same consideration to our clothing. Thank you for your insights today Cameron. 🙏

a wonderful reflection....As a weaver myself, I understand what can be gained and what has been lost in so call progress.
Well said, Reverend Trimble - so true. In every way ... not a fair trade ....
Once again, your insights are such a gift. The locality and uniqueness of the different parts of our world become lost in that shuffle as well.
