Nature has a counterpart, a representation of every interior mood and obscure perception of man.
The dinner table is a rite of civilization and we need to participate in that to keep our families together, to keep our communities together.
Create a garden; bring children to farms for field trips. I think its important that parents and teachers get together to do one or two things they can accomplish well - a teaching garden, connecting with farms nearby, weave food into the curriculum.

A good collaboration I think it's really, truly a vibe thing. The people who are most excited about collaborations are people in the business, people who are thinking, "This is going to be great press," or, "This is going to expose you to all these people you haven't reached before.

I'm open to it, but it has to feel right. If it feels forced, then I'm fearful of doing it.
Mistakes are. . . immensely useful. . . they show us. . . where we are right now and what we need to do next
