Bless you, my daughter!
Isn't it amazing what you can find with an inquiring mind?! And who!
Someone said that we may have lost our ability to manufacture Vitamin C, within, simply because there is so much of it in nature. I guess the ancients never heard of the modern-day grocery store...or our new-fangled farming methods, and water 'purification'.
The way I'm looking at it is that we manufacture almost all we need, inside, if we have the basic building blocks...minerals, in the balance created, selected, chosen by plants...even by ocean plants 250,000,000 years ago.
Oceans evaporated, and laid down deposits of perfect crystal mineral salts. Just add enough water, and Bob's yer uncle...an ocean swim at home in your bathtub...skinny!
And our skins are the perfect organs to nurture us...both in and out...in water.
I'm looking at a chunk of perfect pinky-peach crystal mineral salts right now, 250,000,000 years old, on a little wooden stand, with a small light bulb inside so that it glows, even at 4 a.m. I can see the swirls and bits in it that are the evidence of the plants and critters that made it, passing nutrients delivered by micro organisms through their amazing, balancing, bodies.
Who knows there may be such a deposit of crystal mineral salts near you!
They say there's a deposit like that in the Rockies. They can tell by the seashells that come out, regularly. And there's another in the Andes. And one CureZoner says there's one near her farm. Pure refreshment for tired soils and the critters that live there.
Sure, we can make awful messes of the closest water, but I figure that, if we DON'T have the basic balanced crystal mineral salts, we don't have a chance with ANY water we have.
Then there's the trusty rain barrel our forefathers designed.
:D
And roof tiles.
And our ancestors taught us there's more than one way to skin a cat.
You work with concrete, and other materials? Super! Great stuff!
You are a designer...an idea person.
And you live with a laughing man! Paradise!
Thank you for this glimpse of heaven in the wee small hours.
Back to bed.
Fledgling
