I dream about a world where my needs can be met without those needs costing someone else dearly. I dream about producing food for our families in a way that won?t cost ?the world?. I dream about food that will nourish the body and community that will nourish the spirit. I dream about a world where our children are surrounded by a caring loving community that thinks about our shared future.
How do we become more enlightened about our behaviors so we can live our dreams? How can we change our thinking so our actions will follow? Maybe we need to just ?buy into? a new vision… Maybe we need to learn how to tame our technology and harness our brilliance. All the answers are out there, we just have to apply them.
How are you dreaming in the new year?
May your new world be filled with joy and bounty. May your dreams come true.
Peter Bane has written a book called The Permaculture Handbook which is an extensive book on permaculture principles and practices. Shaen says it’s the best book he has read on the topic. The author brings together threads of information from many different sources and weaves the material together in a very coherent and accessible way. Peter Bane edits a quarterly magazine called the Permaculture Activist.
