Module 1: Post 2 – A field of poppies

This brief article caught my attention as I looked for information about collectivism and Indigenous cultures:

The writing style seems Indigenous to me; it had a slightly different rhythm than I’m used to. I found it oddly soothing. It’s about moving toward an antidote to individualism and competition. About standing tall and proud, while avoiding the pitfalls of the ego. About a rising tide lifting all boats.
