When we have folks up visiting our proto-demonstration site/homestead, often
we get into discussions on the state of the world.  Long about the time the
discussion starts winding on an inward spiral, I'll say, "So, you want to do
something about the problems of the world?  Here's a hoe - let's go plant
something or shore up one of the swales."

It's a great perspective-generator.

Walk in balance,
