It is so much easier to grab a product off the grocery store shelf without thinking about where it came from. How many times did I simply toss out a dress or shirt because it needed mending? Or run through a fast food drive-thru because I didn’t want to think about dinner? But, just because these things don’t come naturally doesn’t mean that they never will. I have so much more to learn, but now my desire for this knowledge can overpower my need for fast fashion, fast food, fast life. I wasn’t really taught the “living arts” as part of my upbringing, but my parents did teach me a love for learning and it seems that this was more than enough.
