This goes to Stephan & the Holistic Family!
I am beyond grateful to have shared and learned how to "Deep Time Walk Project" and during these time I felt for the first time of my life that i am not seen by others as sort of mad for what i talk about & feel, but even loved and appriciated. So, i wrote this poem within one of those amazing green learning moments after sitting with the land!
"What am I to be when I have grown up
so many vocations, voices and choices
and in the end I never really know.
Even within one profession there is much and more
and I again don´t know where upon to turn.
Questions challenge me with being just – just being isn´t any more.
What are you good at? Will this help to find a nest?
Which road is leading you? What does the passage cost?
What is your honest passion? Does this merge with humble ambition?
Today her heart-hunters found me sitting still.
No application – just an offer,
no investment – but a commitment of mine,
no books or charts – but webs and eons of wisdom.
No company – but systems and processes as a matter of fact,
no career goal – but a path to rely on,
no boss – but an omnipresence.
My office – here and now,
my salary – the holy seed.
I am the Earth´s Apprentice."
For sure, this is one of the bitter moments to have Stephan passing on + having Schumacher College slide into unknown times due to closure notice by Dartington Foundation. Both of these events occuring within not even one week...
So, now again is the time to truely practice what we teach!
