The 7 Simple Shifts of The Hunter-Gatherer 21C

1. He/she moves rather than sits.
2. ...eats fresh, local, varied rather than processed.
3. ...uses hands to paint and bake and hug not just check mail.
4. ...every day appreciates the sheer magic, dirt and weather of planet earth rather than the comfort and air-con of the office and mall.
5. ...gets deep and meditates and wonders and wanders rather than replicating the politician's 'bite'.
6. ...builds a body that lasts and a passion that grows rather than simply an ascending job grade.
7. ...takes each sun-rise, each electric storm and each sabre-tooth scare as it comes rather than needing and demanding 100% security.

Short & Effective

Mmmm

And at the end of the 6th day, God thought long and hard about creating e-mail but in the end He did not want to spoil the very wonderful Creation he had project managed. And thus he pulled the coders from the e-mail project and transferred them to a multi-disciplinary project of spectacular sun-rises, the unicorn and the synchronous event of two young Liverpool lads meeting at St Peter's church fete.
