Wood Works!

Nature provides an abundance. 

That is, I trust, self evident.

To see the ripe fruit hanging [and falling], uneaten,

from the western trees is both comical and tragic, while 

the people buy punnets from the 'super' markets for, 

[as it is said in these realms], an 'arm and a leg'.

The 'real' fruit is free, but [generally] untouched.

We can, furthermore, harvest dead wood to heat our homes, and make tools.

Another word for dead, useful, wood is 'seasoned'.

One can also 'season' [as is the customary expression] one's food 

with spices and herbs, also provided by nature's bounty, again, 

often passed-by [in the 'field', as it were] by the majority of 

so-called [rather aptly, may I say] 'consumers'.

For to consume is, as I see it, is to initially purchase.

And no purchase is necessary.

[Apart from a chainsaw, and at least 2x axes if you wish to . .

 . . . 'commit to this', as they say here in my native tongue]

Wood can provide both the heat required to cook, and the bowl 

off which we eat, and the means by which we move said heated 

food from wooden plate to appreciative mouth.

It is an art to heat and cook with wood.

One that can be learned incredibly fast.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Becoming [and remaining] human partially 

comprises of knowing how this all works.

In practice.

And practice . . . makes perfect.

Bon apetit!
