Farm Kitchen Choreography Cooperation Magic

Today I learned that on the prairies in Canada, anyway, women could cook a meal together in the kitchen, without even talking, and could walk into a kitchen full of twinning other women, and know exactly where to fit into the whole operation. They could whip a meal for 400 people, That everything would move like a well oiled machine, but also like a dance, that it could be fun, that it’s women taking care of women on the way to taking care of the community. The person who told me this said that she learned it when she was four, she did her first time being in charge of cooking for the whole family when she was nine, and she just has it in her body. She could go into any kitchen today with other people who grew up on the prairie, and they’d be able to do everything, and have it be timed perfectly, and come out at the end. What strikes me about this is the amazing capacity for cooperation and collaboration, and for learning skills in the body, in a calm state, with joy and fun, and although you could invent a labor saving device that would speed a lot of this up, it doesn’t seem like you could actually improve on it. The quality of the food at the end, the amount of love in the food, I feel this would be much exceeding whatever comes out of the kitchen, full of stressed out people and an angry chef. Or a fast food restaurant. She talked about similar things with barnraising, With cooperation among farmers. Ation was the norm, and not just something they got invented by hippies in the 60s. I’m not saying we should go back to exactly the same thing we had in the “good old days“, but there’s really something to be learned from this. Just the potential that human beings can have for a sixth sense. For learning things in a state of calm and ease. And for collaboration. I’m shocked that I’ve never heard about this until today. Does anyone have other stories of collaboration that are similar to this? It might seem really ordinary to you if you grew up with it, and maybe you never knew how to explain it to people who didn’t, maybe people you might have tried to explain it to didn’t really want to hear it either.  But I would love it if you would take a shot at it.
