A Vision for the Future

You know how I am always posting links to things I think you should read and, when you do, you end up depressed because what I had to share was just so darn sad or horrifying or, well, depressing? Well, this time, I promise you'll be crying tears of joy, not despair! I have read a few books by Gene Logsdon and they have inspired me greatly. I found this property and could see it's potential because of what I read in The Contrary Farmer and The Pond Lovers. I have read a lot this past year about environmental destruction, economic collapse, energy depletion and other nasties, and I have shared a lot of it here. But what you have not seen here, has been the counterpoint to all the bad news. I have been mired in the negative at times, even though we were forging ahead with the plans to make a new future for ourselves. I have not had the inclination to share what we are doing in reaction to and to heal what is happening in the world today. Hell, I have not had the inclination to do much beyond dreaming...yet. But things are changing. I am letting go of the past and turning towards the future I want to create. The seasons are shifting towards Spring and the work that can be done when the Earth warms and Life returns.
If you are inclined to read about a vision for the future that I believe is very doable, check out the link above. I think we will need to have some idea of what we want to replace our current system with if it should come to an end. Better to have Plan B ready, than to have no idea of how to go forward. So, go read the story and come back and tell me what you think!

Holly was talking about you just yesterday. Look at the art she's done: t-shirt magic photo thing. She was musing about the possibility of going to visit you. Fantasy, but still... She likes you lots.
