Up, down, up, down, sideways, under, over, left, right… Many of the people that Vinitia (pronounced vin-ee-sha) had heard about through her great-grandparents were people that were unable to maintain a healthy balance of life. They were, in essence, all over the place. Some people would work 40 hours a week, or more, doing something that they didn’t like because they felt obligated. Vinitia always felt that this was strange. Why would someone do something all week long with about 1/2 of their waking hours, if they didn’t like it?

Lumbriggio (pronounced lum-bridge-ee-oh) loved to create things with his hands. He was always designing something of some sort. Mostly, he would spend his time helping people to design the way that they wanted to set-up the way that they lived off of the land. He would sit down with the couple (or family) and help them set out just what it is that they wanted from their dream-home. Specifically, he would outline the best place to have trees, plants, food-bearing plants/trees, where the house should go in position to the rest of things, where it was most optimal to have water, etc.

His mom and dad watched as he explored the natural world around him. Chinwe (pronounced chin-way) would crawl around in the grass as he looked at various plants and insects. His mom and dad were being very intentional in their desire not to interfere with Chinwe’s autonomy. They understood the importance of Chinwe discovering the world around him – on his own – without any influence by mom or dad. This concept was something that was foreign to both of Chinwe’s parents.
