Not what I expected at all. I actually really enjoyed that. I’ve always felt my life was sort of meaningless until I married and had kids. I obviously had meaning to them, but as you say that’s just existing. Deep down there was still something missing that felt close but just out of reach to know what it was. Then one day I’m watching gardening videos on utube and one came on talking about permaculture. I was instantly hooked to learn about designing your life and how the agriculture and human systems can coexist in a regenerative pattern. That point on I made it a task to live a life that had meaning. Meaning in creating systems that will benefit both human and nature while having the resilience to thrive long after I’m no longer living. Meaning to build ecosystems instead of destroy them. Meaning to be a servant to the land that has given me life and continues to give my family life.

Thanks for those thoughts. I really enjoyed them.
