Chasing the Moon

Dreaming slowly.

Most of the work that holds a community together happens out of sight. Schedules kept, meetings minuted, water bills sent, trails marked, invoices paid, trash collected. The thing the community sees — a working road, an event on Saturday, a safe clean neighbourhood, thriving flora and fauna — is the small visible part of a much larger amount of patient, unphotogenic work.

We set out to tinker and improve the patient parts.

Because the bigger dreams — places where neighbours look after each other, where the land is treated like it will outlive us — those things never finish. They are always in flux. They sit just past the horizon, sometimes visible, usually out of reach, the way the moon does. You don't catch up to them.

Taking it one step at a time, we build small tools. To make our businesses and properties run better, our beaches clean, our surroundings beautiful, to make our roads safe, and keep our water running. Our friends and organisations around us need it, as do we, and our planet. So we set out to shape the path our dreams laid out.

Perhaps one day we will catch the moon.
