Oypraploo seeds are a generous offer…
Oypraploo seeds are a generous offer ... peaceful piece meal tells the receiver at the start that we can deliver something ... A big youthful claim to honor as ... Plural Conductor ... regression against time's arrow ...
8 is post-toddler ... pre-adolescent ... Reading fluent but not self-conscious ... Imagination most agile ... least defended ...
Approximate eight-year-oldness contains ... sitting on a floor ... table at your chest ... how cold smelled like the back of an elder's hand ... sunny morning that lasted a year ... a sentence said once that no one jotted down ... boredom that was very interesting ... observing for hours ... believing everything that was said innocence ...
Blanket ... Spoon ... Waiting ... Unhurried.
Artificial Intel cannot be eight years old ... was never a child ... Our piece's offer to take the receiver back is something AI cannot do ... That makes the honest seeds a move about who's physically doing the work ...
This seed enacts the offer ... The receiver ... receiving ... "taking a beautiful clover and temporarily stick it in a nostril" ... IS at that lucid moment ... No description needed ... the gesture IS being approximately eight years old ...
Three weights earn their keep ... Sitting outside ... slow time ... no schedule ... beautiful child as aesthete first ... the clover notices its playtime and not a commitment ...
What surrounds this gesture ... blades of grass ... a dandelion held ... does it shine yellow? ... being still to see if a butterfly lands ... pulling a stem just to see what's inside ... making a hole with a stick ... trying out some new arrangements of spoken words ...
Grass ... Shadow ... Socks for Knees ... Poo under Fingernails ... Breathing Alone ... Warm Solitude not Cool Loneliness ... Nobody else Minutes ...
Our seeds don't moralize and make gestures stand for anything ... That's the Deliverance not explained ...
The clover was solitary privacy ... with an act ... It felt like some formal magnitude of sorts ... Mixing tenses ... which adds song ... A voice saying "it felt like" is older than the hill ... What kinds of secrets does an eight-year-old have ... a hiding place under a porch ... a made up word that meant something at the time ... a story we both told ourselves having to do with a teacher ... a corner of the yard that was our territory ... a name for a slow moving cloud ...
Shh ... look between ... under ... behind winking ... whispering ... nudging ...
Charged with fresh new awareness ... feeling bigger than it was ...
The WE of the seed and our practice's collective WE rhyme ... This language may have always been this ... We With Secret Stance ... receiver invited into something no one else knew ...
Oyparaploo seeds compress registers into phrases ... Heritage contemporary EAT movement ... or ... Industrial consumer product muscle memory ... colliding ...
Indigenous Farm to Table ... original ... prior ... ongoing ... present tense ... located ... embedded ... Kool Aid ... childhood red sticky sweetness ... ordinariness ...
What's underneath drink? ... corn that became syrup ... berries that became artificial flavor ... the actual cherry behind cherry flavors ... ten thousand year old water ... a pitcher carved by hands that didn't know whose ancestors made it ... The surface of a space laid over land that was once someone's home ... the trail from gathering to small paper bag ...
Sugar ... glass ... corn teeth ... tongue stain lip service ... mother of all summers poor jingles ... warm on top ... buried underneath ... O'seeds hold ... contradiction forces juxtapositions ...
AI doesn't know what's In the colonial Kool Aid ... layers of what got replaced by what ... Our elder has researched and lived what Artificial Intel cannot natively produce ...
Seeds continue the naturally electric thread by grounding it ... feeling it directly ... fingers in dirt ... Embodied ... as our first law ...
Authentic local dirt ... small ... here ... real ...
Warm self compound ... Warm Solitude not Cool Loneliness ... Warmth as state of mind surrounding fingers in dirt ... Digging for a nonspecific reason ... making earth soil mud pies ... the smell of wet dirt after a slow rain ... worms pulled up carefully ... a root system surfacing as an alien surprise ... the way blended soil sticks differently in different yards ... wonderful dirt as a place where bower shiny treasures hide.
Loam ... Clay pebbles ... Palm cuff ... Kneeling wrist ... What's the scoop ... Squat? ... Inhale the smoke scented afternoon temperature ... meeting at the skin ... The seeds answer ... Indigenous Farm to Table ... is in grounded truth experience ...
