Reached for: Veggies/fruit

If I don't grow it, store it, and see to it myself, I can't count on it being there.

It shows up as survivalist self-provision, a nurturance-need met by one's own resourceful, do-it-alone effort, because the world is quietly expected to fall short and no one is counted on to provide. The self-sufficiency is capable and real; underneath is a vigilance against going without. What it asks for is to let something be provided, once, without having to secure it oneself.

The Archetypal Form

The little red hen, who planted and tended and ground and baked entirely alone because no one would help and she had learned not to wait for them. The form implies a task: to let someone carry a share, and to share the loaf.
