Today is yesterday's tomorrow...

Yesterday we took a detour on our way home from the market to visit a field in a neighbouring commune. One and a half hectares sheltered by mixed woodland, at present being wasted in my view to provide maize for the cattle industry.It is pointless planning for a sustainable way of living if there is nowhere to accommodate the realisation of the hopeful vision. The field is fifteen times bigger than the garden we presently occupy,we wont be abandoning the progress we make here,but our terrestrial universe is expanding. Forward planning is essential.
Anne-Sophie and I may seem naive to the majority of keyboard stabbing modernists who insist that the world is doomed, most of the inspired negativity is media led .There no sin in naivety.We don't subscribe to consensus of mass delusion, the popular view.It is doomed. Why buy in to a way of life that is guaranteed to fail to meet our long term needs?
Cows take up a lot of space more sustainably occupied by people,families. Many grant aided petrol driven and debt ridden profiteers will just have to bite the bullet. Whilst not wishing undue hardship on any working family,support must inevitably be withdrawn from an historically compromised system of agriculture that is fast
turning an agrarian heaven into an ecological hell.
The field looks sick. The crop unsuited to the ground , nitrogen starved plants not thriving alongside the more robust forest land,many cobs of corn ,blackened and diseased. The land is at present rented by a farmer who shows little concern or care by conduct for the needs of the ground, his sole motivation being the bottom line.
We don't under estimate the enormous amount of work needed to return the earth to a durable state of grace. We don't see any but the choiceless option, encouraged by our practical good results so far we are both as a married singular unit, up for the challenge.
There is enough sand by the roundhouse site to start building the walls. It is not enough to be intellectually obsessed by ideas then delegate the work to others. Enough we have had of the privileged overseers cracking the masters' whip whilst servant and slave bend their back bear the pains and do the essential work. Such systems encouraged by the compromise of state and temple have driven us thus far to the edge of the abyss. We are determined to head in another direction. What ever slim chance of survival we may have is not within the power of pyramidic institutions to administer or implement.We must take the initiative ourselves. That we have learned through our journeying and well enough we modestly do without taking liberties.The path we follow leads us ever closer to the domain of our natural evolved destiny. Home.
One step at a time,the path that leads to there starts here, there is work to do, walls to build. The road that leads away from that little responsibility leads Nowhere.
Doing the do iz all.
