This is a quick post just to establish this space. This blog is dedicated to Gaia and we will spend several our time here exploring ideas of past, present, and future laid out by several authors and scientific discoveries to inform us on a way Beyond Civilization.
We will explore together.
More to come.
Off to a slow start. Hope you haven't quit. I was hoping for some bioregionalism. Maybe a mushroom hunt.I'd love some non irrigation desert permaculture. Maybe the beginnings of a tribe. Hiking, camping, foraging. I've been wondering when the camus bulbs were harvested. What do they taste like? How far south would you have to travel to gather pinion pine nuts. How much dynamite would it take to get the Salmon run back up to Shoshone Falls. Maybe if the Sturgeon could once again run to the ocean the population would stabilize. When I close my eyes to pray, I smell sagebrush. Nice to call Idaho home.
ReplyDeleteDennis! Hello. Off to a slow start indeed, and did 'quite' for a while. I just posted a general update. Im going to use this blog about once a month for some deeper topics than Id like to dive into at my website, but the website has been the main focus of my online energy for a couple months. While I am a primitive technology enthusiast and love foraging, Im both no expert and identified long ago that is not ever going to be a priority of my life... unless of course one must. I had my time in the post-collapse world and have come to the conclusion that it will happen organically, the more I would 'plan' the more I would think of wider possibilities to 'plan' for and realizing we just to not know. We have no idea how this is going to play out and we can play scenarios all day, but even after the dust of collapse settles if we are still left with the way of thinking we have today, we will be right back in the same place. Thus, I have stuck far more energy into simply talking and changing minds. Yes, bioregionalism and our ability to understand the food availability of our part of the bioregion will give us a competitive edge in the future, whether a complete collapse or a forced withdraw into bioregions. I think these are skills we should all be at least aware of, but ATM the vast majority of folks' minds are so stuck in Mother Culture most people do not care to see why that is possibly important.
DeleteThanks for your comment, Dennis. As I maintain a presence in the coming months I hope we can connect here again, and as we share a bioregion we may meet in a ryholite canyon. Cheers!
