#harvest technology changes. populations change peacefully and then forcefully . the climate changes and is changing now

the major appeal of the Corn Maze is tapping into the human experience of Being Surrounded By Maize During Harvest . i love you corn and i love walking in circles under an autumn sun while you rustle gently and smell exactly as you always have for the past many hundreds of years at this same time in this same spot. effervescent
#i love where i live. at all times of the year there's always some ancient simple thing that direct-hits the timeless human experience button#me in the wintertime: wow for thousands of years we have huddled in shelters and put wood on the fire and thought about spring#me in the spring: wow for thousands of years someone has gone out and tapped the first tree of the season and saved up the sap#me in the summer: wow for thousands of years somebody has weeded squash here. beans even#me in the fall: i have GOT to be surrounded by corn so i can feel exactly the way im supposed to at this time. in this place#like it's not my ancestral experience. im not from here. we were in abruzzo until like eighty years ago. they dont have corn there#but at this time in this place there is corn and there has always been corn in this place. and i get to experience that. how COOL#at this time in this place there are maple trees and eastern white pines and there have been those trees#since as long and longer as there have been humans to look at them here. how COOL#harvest technology changes. populations change peacefully and then forcefully . the climate changes and is changing now#but for now. and for a time before me. there's corn here. and everyone who was here walked around in the corn#and if we are lucky then five hundred years from now someone can still plant and stand in and listen to the rustle of the corn
