Discovering the Meaning of Tradition

By Alan Beck

Living The Organic Lifestyle

Society's recent appreciation of organic products reflects much more than faddish preoccupation. Indeed, this relatively new awareness underscores our increasing concern with issues of quality versus quantity, of abiding values versus meretricious ones. Like many others of my generation I sometimes find myself bewailing a general loss of tradition, especially the careful habit of lovingly detailed craftsmanship that characterized so many products of the past. As late as the early Twentieth Century common items such as furniture, tools, books, toys, and costume jewelry were marked by infinite attention to the finest points of both structure and functionality. In truth, the old style of heartfelt workmanship marks how organic energies translated into purely human effort. Organic is the style of Divine Intelligence intrinsically transcending everything vulgar, mundane, and pedestrian.

Organic Farming Is True To Nature And Ourselves

Interestingly, there are still a few rare places where such finely-honed focus thrives: Lucky Six Farms, for one! But how can we be so confident that this laudable tradition is not only truly authentic but also consistently maintained? The very basis of our White Sage wild-crafting and processing lies in our profound respect for the plant itself, a respect that honors the unique, eternally vibrant, living spirit underlying not only its traditional use but also our personal resonance with its life-force.

Organic Products Embrace The Real Source

Things regarded from their inception as merely material tend to be roughly stamped out, utilized thoughtlessly, and summarily tossed aside. From the beginning to the end of their lives, they are commonly regarded as nothing more than vacuous, fungible "stuff." But the array of Lucky Six Farm's White Sage products arise and have their being from a very different metaphysical basis. If the primary value of tradition derives from the intense effort, sincerity, and pure intent of the crafts-person, then we can be assured that our White Sage products embody the very same organic power venerated through hundreds of prior generations. We believe the Divine shines forth through each and every one.
