…and it was glorious.
Sometimes, one may assume that praising Métis, and contributing to a Modern Golden Age…all these things are “of the mind”, an intellectual approach, trying to decipher the mysteries around the world and how can we make it better.
There is wisdom there, for sure!
But there is so much wisdom hidden in plain sight when it comes to Nature and a more physical approach.
I spent the day cutting wood, carrying it around and helping my grandfather. Funnily enough, the emotional state was the same as when I finish a great, complex book.
A more complete worldview becomes available.
A new version of myself becomes ready to be embodied.
I had forgotten that physical labor adds an extra layer of meaning to the already very meaningful layer of exercising and working in your body. You’re doing it with a purpose. You’re contributing.
I’ll definitely praise Métis like this more often.
My grandad will appreciate it, for sure.
