Well, Nature has a way of teaching us. It’s just a matter of how many lessons we need before we get it. Unfortunately, many (including those in power) need to be taught often before they understand.

I’m hopeful that a cultural shift is starting to take shape. I think of our economic catastrophe as being the Tower that frees us (violently) from the bondage of the material Devil. Freedom from the bondage of materialism gives rise to an awakening to the Star, the Moon and the Sun.

I just hope that people learn to make the leap to the hope of the Star instead of just letting themselves get caught in the catastrophe of the Tower over and over again.

But nature will keep trying until we get it. The Gods are infinitely patient. It is us who will suffer the consequences if we don’t learn.

Thanks for this… makes me think that one this tropical island with half a year of rain we shouldn’t be without water. We are plagued by floods in the wet season and drought in the dry season.
They haven’t figured out as yet how to trapp all that water properly and store it for later. There are dams, but the water flow keeps changing due to indiscriminate mountain developments that destry to mountain wildlife. Do you think the government cares…No…its progress.

I bet that must have been quite an experience for them to learn how to cook with new herbs, vegetables, fruits, etc. The nice thing about us moving to California is that there is a much larger variety of locally grown food available. In the Midwest, there is some variety, but the main things grown there are corn, soybeans, sugar beets and cows. Everything else, it seems, is grown in California.

This is such an important topic. Thank you for posting about it. I completely agree with you about living within our climate. Coming from an Italian family tradition, we had to make many adjustments when the family immigrated from Italy. I am told that the bisnonni (great grandmothers) began to learn as much as they could about America’s native fauna as soon as they arrived. Things that our family had used before was no longer readily available. Today we still use some specifically Italian ingredients in our work, but for the most part, we use native plants and commune with native animals and the genii loci of the New World, Terranova.

Yes, I find that quite strange too. Some people seem to want to find ways to spend money on things that are free or nearly so.

Marvelous post! And thank you for the sidenote about water bottles. We do the tap-water/Brita thing too, but like you we purchase bottled water for convenience (traveling, especially, and plus I’ve found that my daughter will drink more water when given a water bottle — I suppose it’s the “cool” factor. She’s four…)… And speaking of gardening in harmony with nature, Or NOT, I find it hilarious how people rake up leaves and put them on the curb to be picked up by Yard Debris…and then go buy bags of mulch to put around their shrubs… Hmmm.
