It would help if we turn to God. Supply Him energy He needs in prayer & action to help us. We kicked Him out of schools, Satan walked in ("After School Satan clubs" abound for age 5 & up. "Coincidentally" began at Pt. Defiance Elem. School. If you walk away from Him, you lose God consciousness. Behind parents' backs, schools now "support" "cat orientation!" Kitty litter boxes in bathrooms of an increasing # of elem., middle & high schools across America. I reported Keith Valley Middle School. Growing phenomenon called "Furries" (police confirmed). If you vote Democrat next election you will be supporting molestation of children as a "new orientation".
There are so many REAL and serious challenges in our society. The pain is palpable.
I am hoping to make the case that uniting on our literal "common ground"--the soil that feeds us--can help guide us in the direction of true resilience as we learn the realities that only nature can teach us. Do you garden? What do you experience *when* gardening? My dear friend and teacher, Nicky, teaches gardening and permaculture on the principle that we can find God in the garden.
My sincere hope and prayer is that many Americans will become catalysts for change through our own (and community based) food production and caring for the land. As we do that, other realities of nature will become obvious and we will live in closer harmony with nature.
I'd love to hear how gardening, farming, etc is a part of your life, even if it is vicariously for now. Please share.
Just want to thank you for your real caring & passion fueled mission. May you succeed!
Yes, I believe Nicky. I don't think it an accident that through working on an org. farm & permaculture-based bioshelter in PA, I found God! (Three Sisters Farm in PA--I think the Freys, owners, moved in different directions & so has the farm.)
Yes, love gardening & the simple life, but rarely have time for such things. Building a business so to eventually have more time for such things. (:
Yes! Paul, you know I believe that we would all benefit from having our basic needs met in a way that was not utterly dependent on our monetary system....
My prayer for the future is that the ideas around resilient food systems can bring us wellness and peace. And yes to taking back out power. I believe you refer to that as "presence?"
It's a great reminder that we can find respite from the evils of the world.
Our garden is more than doubling in size and it's my greatest distraction and active procrastination. That may sound weird to name it an active procrastination, but when I don't want to do certain tasks, my attention easily shifts to learning something new about, say, soil, companion planting, or composting.
Gardening is an attitude. For me, it's the glass half full attitude.
“There is a seed calling your name…” a lovely thought.
I’ve recently become more aware of just how many of the traditional seeds have been lost forever, replaced by hybrids controlled by a few giant global companies. A new TV documentary is a real eye-opener and encourages us to seek out heritage seeds which produce crops that are far more nutritious and which also create more seeds that can be saved and planted - the traditional way. This is a link to the video in case it’s of interest:

Taking back our power and disconnecting the relationship between money, food and power
