Commit to Learn

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

People of my Kind

have the mixed up

assumption:

"Anyone can grow food."

It's like

anyone can walk

down the Produce Aisle

at the Grocery Store

and pick out

Lettuce,

Cantaloup,

or Broccoli.

It's the same

as growing Food,

right?

Wrong!

Plus, we have had

for a long time 

a deeply unfortunate,

lowly perception

of Farmers,

who traditionally

are People

of the Earth.

Growing Food

is a highly

sophisticated Craft

between the Human

and the Earth

of Complexity

that we can never

completely know.

We can apologize

for our hubris.

And we

can commit

to learn.
