"I wrote Becoming Human to connect with the heart of our human story. In a driven culture based on success and stature where is the space to become, to grow, to fall and then stand back up? In reality we connect at our most vulnerable. We all break sometimes, we all arrived here naked. We don’t talk about our weakness enough and thats why I think so many of us feel lonely, isolated and disconnected. I wrote the poem as a personal challenge to myself to remain present, intentional and aware of the beautiful, restored ruins I have the honour of being connected to, simply through the essence of being human."

- Joshua Luke Smith
