Reflections on the interconnectedness of all life and the importance of reconnecting with nature and with each other. We are not isolated individuals, but parts of an infinite, fractal crochet-web of life.

"Every second you spend not engaged in the game of overconsumption is a a second you are shrinking – in a good way. You become less Greedwolf Wisdomkiller and more Overlarge but maybe dumb Pupper."
