came home to find the chicks snuggled safely in their coop and a smattering of natural debris scattered amidst the prolific detritus of multiple projects in various states of disrepair. all is chaos in the wake of a shua-storm.
things happen so fast these days. a year is only 1 / 31st of the time i've been gravity-glued to this living rock; a week 1/1612th; a day one / eleven-thousand-three-hundred-twenty second...th....counting 7 leap years...no wonder times a-flyin.
big changes are blowin in with the silver iodide-laden superstorms. it's less than a month now...barely 1/1612th of my perception-filter (read: TIME)...and i'll be on my way to the Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute for their 11th Permaculture Design Certificate Course...
my longshot application yielded a spot in their Work-Trade program...
my mind races ahead of itself these days,
existing in a magic fairyland of permaculture, building&creating, honest labor, good folk & good food ...
exactly as my days should be structured...
but first, a trip north with my brother, through durham and it's reportedly vibrant urban ag movement; capon bridge, WV to visit folks i'm blessed to've met at Taproot; and on to Ithica to check out the Veteran's Sanctuary before checking in and making camp for the 9 day pre-course preparations, 2 wk course, & camp clean-up...
so there's the pitch. you're welcome. to the right is a link to my indiegogo campaign. i'm trying out this crowdfunding doo-dad. i earn so little money you would probably pity me, but i assure you, i eat like a king...an old-timey third-world country kind of king (that cooks), but a king nonetheless....!
i did a little math though, and if 293 people on the planet, with the interwebs, could slip me a 5-spot, before June 28th, i could afford the round-trip, the tuition, and have some funds to help out with the rent when i return from an income-free month&a-halfish.
think about that: 293 people we know out of at least a couple billion possible humans, doesn't seem too difficult...
imagine if every person online with an interest in spreading permaculture, sustainable living, community-sufficiency or yard farming in its many incarnations contributed $5!
i'd be a millionaire!
i'd buy up your mineral rights & give em back to you in perpetuity just to snub the mother-frakkers!
seriously though, can you help me get the word out?
click the link & share it with your peoples.
all the little buttons are there.
they make it easy.
let's make life a little easier...
