I should explain, ”it’s permaculture”, meaning, it fits this forum in that true permaculture arrives out of a dismantling of the old, outmoded ways of exploitation of the earth and her populace.... And I’m including all beings; we have to take a look at this stuff, just so we can decide we prefer something more truly embracive and sustainable. And most especially, we have to look with eyes of love, not hate, or fear or any of fear’s companions... As soon as possible. Chiron   [End]
