Ask the Earth

Here we are on this little Farm wanting to live as sustainably as possible: growing our own food, living closer to the Earth's cycles, restoring the land. So what do we do? We peruse the best books by the best Human authors that we can find. We connect with 2-leggeds who have expertise. That's a good start. But, we forgot 1 very important thing:

Ask the Earth.

Unfortunately, in our highly sophisticated Human contrived and Human-centered world, we have forgotten how to "read the Earth". Worse yet, we have forgotten that we should read these powerful things. While we are taught in our dominant Euro-centric culture that we are separate from the Earth, we are really a part of the Earth's cycles and systems. We are not separate from them. What we do to the Earth, we do to ourselves.

This wonderful Mother presents lessons all around. We 3 Humans promise to listen more carefully on our journey's ahead.
