Another day to get things done!

Yesterday I managed to plant 2 olive trees, the Manzanita variety which produces big eating olives. Gave them some pigeon and chicken manure, compost, worm tea and compost. I will go back and add mulch around the trees, just did not have the time.

Now they will have to fend for themselves. They did not have a big root mass yet, we will see if they survive. 🤞🫒

Today will be mostly chopping wood and work for fiat. After that I will plant a couple of 100 apple seeds. I hope to get a couple of hours done on earthworks or restoring the old house.

Its funny to see that when you have meaningful things to do like planting trees and restoring a house, how little yiu want to work on fiat jobs. Its my biggest struggle, not to walk away from the fiat world entirely, I have to remind myself everyday that I dont yet have the systems in place to do that. Not yet... but everyday a step closer.

Sourdough journey

I read many people advocating this or that diet, and pointing to unsustainable industrial agriculture practices to prove their points...

Having embarked on the #regenerativeagriculture and #permaculture voyage, I learned so much about all this.

Lets not confuse the levels, the map is not the territory...

For example: Many vegetarians/vegans point to animal suffering to convince people not to eat meat... but its the farming technique which is at fault, not the eating of meat.

Many of these people never grew 1/10th of their own food, which would teach them that:

just like energy cant be created nor destroyed, life on this planet kills in order to survive. Try growing vegetables without displacing or killing plants or animals... you are in a sense always killing something.

Also it teaches you that upscaling, centralizing, going after money gains, industralizing, etc. makes no sense and pollutes usually.

Its almost "racist" to only care about animal deaths, plants are entities too, they like to survive too. Soil itself is alive too. And what about the forests? And what about grains? They seem to account for most of patriarchy, sedentary humans, war, haves an have nots, etc...

Go out there and grow your own food, whatever it is you like eating, and try doing it regeneratively. Let nature show you what works and what doesnt.

I feel like Im not explaining myself well, but hey, am not fully awake yet. #coffeechain ☕

Am not a food opinionator really, but it bugs me today.

Bill Mollison said: "if you can chomp it, chomp it" and "never sell anything from your farm that cant walk, swim or fly off it" (else you deplete your land)

He also created #permaculture

The world can be healed and saved by gardeners.

lot of people in my life say they want to try jiu jitsu/ mma / etc but won’t commit to a trial class when offered.

the first time i ever went to a boxing gym I just sat in my car in the parking lot, severely out of shape, drug addicted, broke. I wasn’t there to meet anyone. no one knew i was there. I didn’t know anyone there. I didn’t know why I was there. I didn’t go inside.

But for me to even pull up to a gym for the first time was passing a hurdle that changed my life. the next day I held my self accountable, and returned. I just watched. The day after that I put on some borrowed gloves and participated. demonstrable intent, embracing failure.

I’ve built on that slowly. defeating core limiting beliefs by degrees. The gains have been exponential over time, tho many ups and downs. I’m not a world champion in anything, but I have learned how to learn, and embrace new and uncomfortable lifestyles & communities. Learned a lot, failed even more, but importantly just ever broadening my human experience.

My point is try new things. Say yes to people. Erase your calendar. Go camping alone. Go on a blind date. Move to thailand. You can do whatever the fuck you want in this life. Quit your job. Go broke. Take a salsa class. Volunteer at a halfway house. Talk to strangers. Buy a boat. Spray paint something. Just don’t become complacent and too comfortable. embrace, Don’t waste this inexplicable existence.

If your ambitions outpace your ability, and you are showing up for life. you can’t lose.

no need to broadcast or virtue signal that you intend to do or start something to feed your ego or mask a social insecurity. no need to be successful in the eyes of others. catch myself doing these a lot honestly.

but important to remember it’s you vs you. Others can serve as occasional benchmarks or inspiration, but how you push to improve yourself when no one is around is the only relevant measure of progress.

so just go do that new thing. enjoy it, enjoy the new people you meet and the learning process 🤙 oss

Good looking pizza

Having a dog is one of the best experiences and relationships you can have in life. Having one with a mildly retarded French bulldog is even better lol. This dude makes me laugh every single day.
