Mushrooms
The weather has been mild and very damp, ideal for mushroom growing. There are lots of these growing in the tunnel.
Though it’s not actually mushrooms I want to talk about today.
You see there are things on my mind that are troubling me…
Mostly centred around life as we know it, but fail to realise it, if you get my meaning…
Biting the Hand that feeds YOU!
For if we are to live in the world as we know it, then we have to make changes…
Mother Nature gives, and we take. Most of the time we give nothing back…nothing!
For the past hundred or so years we have demanded and taken more and more!
The killing fields of World War One left mountain sized mounds of dead and the residual template of what, in the main, killed them…chemicals!
Chemicals
From that day to this we have almost drowned Gaia in chemicals!
Chemicals to force food from the ground.
Chemicals to kill Gaia’s workforce; bees, insects and bacteria.
Chemicals poured in relentless fashion into her rivers and oceans to make our clothes whiter, cleaner and our homes chemical waste grounds where babies are reared in exclusion zones that make them weak and sometimes ill…for the good bacteria that aids children in developing strong immune systems, is no longer allowed!
When we become ill, we then require stronger and more aggressive pharmaceuticals.
And so we are trapped within a complex ecocidal system of living that is doomed!
A Better Way
Yes, there is a better way!
I am exploring aspects of it in whatever small way possible. But, overall, the solution is simple…
I am not going to tell you, for that would be insulting to you and me!
Mostly, the solutions require little more than common sense, some small effort and a willingness to keep an open mind and ask questions!
Yes, that’s right, questions…keep them flowing!
For therein lies solutions…millions of them! Each one suitable for our immediate environment.
Solutions that empower us and make us integrated, part of the healing, not part of the illness!
| “A human being is part of the whole called by us universe … We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.”
