All I can say so far is WOW!!

This manual is profound. I can’t seem to put the reading down for more than a couple hours before my thirst for more knowledge grows uncontrollable. If you have yet to endure this reading, it’s available for free here: https://library.uniteddiversity.coop/Permaculture/Bill_Mollison-PERMACULTURE_A_Designers_Manual.pdf

The shear amount of philosophical knowledge, much of which I’ve felt were lost practices of indigenous peoples has simply overtaken me with hope and excitement.

Stopped at a random place in the PDF and I get hit with this:

“Philosopher-gardeners, or farmer-poets, are distinguished by their sense of wonder and real feeling for the environment. When religions cease to obliterate trees in order to build temples or human artefacts, and instead generalise love and respect to all living systems as a witness to the potential of creation, they too will join the many of us now deeply appreciating the complexity and self-sustaining properties of natural systems, from whole universes to simple molecules. Gardener, scientist, philosopher, poet and adherent of religions all can conspire in admiration of, and reverence for, this earth. We create our own life conditions, now and for the future.”

Looks like a very, very interesting book. I'm not a big fan of reading stuff from a screen but I might just do an exception in this case.

I mean perfect example. It’s GOLD!!

I prefer paper as well and I will probably print this off and make a binding. This baby deserves some special attention to make sure it never gets lost.
