Knife makers, Aki and Scott, post about the bush and survival, living off the grid, bush craft growing food and living with the sun's energy.
I wonder what your hands are doing, while mine chop onions for dinner.
I wonder what your eyes are seeing, while mine gaze at the fresh spring green of the pineapple weed and aspen trees in the yard.
I wonder what your ears are hearing, while mine catch the song of the sora, the red-winged blackbird, the marsh wren.

I wonder what enters your nostrils, as mine inhale a warm breeze that has blown in from across the chilcotin plateau.
I wonder what your tongue tastes, as mine savors the last of the root cellared roasted beets, carrots and parsnips.
I wonder what your arms are holding, while mine bring in more pine for the cookstove.
I wonder what your are thinking, while I stumble about with my daily routine, preoccupied with trivialities.
I wonder, but I cannot imagine.
I am sorry.
It was art and the conviction that life is. Taking life from anything has to be considered in light of ones own life.
Growing our own food is a luxury. When it was time to slaughter it was always hard. We would talk about it. How everyone who ate meat should have to experience taking life to survive.
Scott and Aki
