Can you hear “I like this little life”? Overlaying that song over the natural sounds of their fingers weaving feels sacrilegious, so I won’t 😅

It’s been a minute my friends but I have lots of little moments like these I’ve treasured from the past few years offline. I was practicing living in the moment versus just capturing it… this beautiful moment was from 2022. This is Solo & Tino of Faleasao, Manu’a (American Samoa) as they lalaga le ato or weave coconut fronds into a basket in preparation for the umu, or Samoan feast. When it’s completed its purpose, it’ll return to the land.

Some extra thoughts while capturing this:

Sustainability is not new but it’s a slow fading practice amongst our society’s modern conveniences. Our ancestors lived a simple life of reciprocity and balance with nature…if only we could return to that in small ways through the little choices we make, like bringing your own take out container instead of to-go styrofoam plates, or choosing to carpool to as lessen your carbon footprint. You don’t have to be perfect, but every little thing you do makes a difference.

Trust me, it’s been a struggle to be more accountable and I’ve bought a few more plastic bottles than I have the past few years out of convenience since my water machine is down. The message is, we can do better… taken in Faleasao by @falefilm
