permaculture

[Myron Mykyta <myronmykyta@yahoo.com>]

A common thread in my local green/permaculture community is a strong calling 
from Daniel Quinn's "Ishmael" to enact natural, permaculture, and especially 
'old ways' -- sustainable ways -- of living.  In tieing this post to the 
spirituality issue, I took Ishmael as actually emphasizing (or at least 
reinforcing) Jesus' Christianinty (not necessarily the Church's version, 
though); "Leave all behind and follow me" was a reminder that the natural 
ways -- that 'God' gave us -- are the right way. That's even an issue related 
to permaculture, are we acting as 'little gods' in our agriculture or should 
we be practicing even more natural systems, focusing on harvesting wild 
edibles, etc.
