permaculture

["Kathy Evans" <evansdk@earthlink.net>]

I agree wholeheartedly...that if we start by balancing ourSELVES
emotionally, physically, spiritually, then what proceeds outward from that
into family, farm, politics, and environment will be whole and life
affirming and not depleting to us as individuals. Likewise the opposite is
true...if we do not attend to our inner balance, we may end up in
polarizing outer situations, like adversarial relationships, politics, and
uh, war. Hope this isn't too far off the permaculture track, but each of us
is part of this whole, yes?      Kathy in St. Louis

I think we need to do some balancing in our lives - do what we can, while
still achieving some pleasure and fulfillment out of life.  I guess that's
why humans have always needed religion.  We need to believe that some
higher power is in charge, 'cause we just can't fix all that's broke.  Just
do what you can..........

compelled to let Nature help me do the best I can to adapt to the changes
and hope that the plants and animals also adapt... what results may be
different than what we currently experience, but sometimes I feel so
hopeless about the whole situation that maybe it's the best we can hope
for. to just adapt and survive in whatever way we can. but there are so
many species who won't survive without help, and maybe then only for a
short time. maybe i have my head in the sand... and i'm ambivalent, I know.
but i certainly do have a "wild zone" for the animals who choose to make it
home or sanctuary.
