Sustainability is not just conservation of the status quo and the preservation of values and rights, but also contain aspects of conviviality, adaptation, development, and many other things. HOWEVER, our search of identity and security makes us remember and conserve memories of time specific events. These conserved mental artifacts can help us find comfort in the constant change of the everyday and function as constants, aiding us to keep a steady course in life and to give us a mirrored picture of our trajectory through life. As in the film Citizen Kane, rosebud is a mental fixed point that controls part of our life by setting values, desires and fueling ambition. This memory can be something positive or negative, but is always consisting of something that has affected us deeply and that will continue to affect us through life. The Rosebud Baby gift TM, is a representation of childhood and the time of optimal innocence of an individual. It is a kit and consists of a traditional conservation jar and an eco packaging protective box. It comes with a sealing fabric to be ritually tied by the giver or givers, around the package when it is filled. This is the ritual functioning as symbol of tying it to time and place. The way the giver ties the ribbon around the gift is the symbol of the way the giver wants to make it into a gift.
The conservation jar is to be filled with earth from the year of birth of the recipient baby. The earth should come from some specific geographical place which will serve as mental anchor point on our physical globe. Maybe this place is the park where the parents first kissed or first met or from some beautiful natural scenery important to the parent(s) or other giver wanting to define the identity of the newborn. The product is numbered and signed by the person who filled it and comes with an ownership certificate, on the package and on a web page (registered by the giver).
Although it is just dirt in a jar, it can carry many intangible values for the individual. It is in the way it is handled and valued that makes it more and more holy as the time goes by. It is a root as long as the person is old and it functions a geographical anchor to his or her place of provenance. So many belongings today are impersonal and devoid of personal meaning. The Rosebud Baby gift TM It is something the individual can keep and think of as a mental stability all through life and which will increase in value with the age of the person. It can also function as a valuable legacy to be kept in the family for generations. In a time when the family structure is weak and many people feel lost and lonely this can unite tribes and families and be passed on as memories of the family. Generation to generation and aid individuals and groups to lift their gaze to long perspectives of time and not despair in the misery of hard time everyday, but feel part in a greater good, greater group and longer history.
