Yes, one sows......one reaps what one does not sow. Yes, one sows, another reaps...[an epiphany].<br /><br />This is what the genius Karl Marx, the great reaper wrote about...the only answer he didn't provide was how to get the other suckers to sow. It took Lenin, Stalin and a succession of others to provide the answer: Forced labor! Otherwise known as slavery! And their motto: We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us...<br /><br />RobertBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149653.post-76761400070404067552010-06-14T07:31:16.922-06:002010-06-14T07:31:16.922-06:00If our economy does fall apart it won't be fro...If our economy does fall apart it won't be from lack of trying, It's completely rotten, ruined by greed!<br /> Change would be good and maybe armageddon would give us the rebirth we need, like a forest fire.<br /> Jack HandeyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149653.post-19106105426879721302010-06-13T14:53:31.992-06:002010-06-13T14:53:31.992-06:00Hey Suelo!

Your continual sense of contentment has been an inspriation to me since the day I first read about you (not to mention after I met you).

For now I'm experimenting with agriculture, looking for a transition into balance for modern society/community. It could be, in the end, that I totally throw out agriculture-as-we-know-it. <br /><br />davidc: thanks, amigo.<br /><br />turil: "Take only what you need to be joyful from what is offered, and offer what you have more than enough of to anyone who finds joy in it."

My goal is to create a space where people like us could stay/live somewhere near here, or possibly in Nova Scotia, but that's a plan that's on hold as my husband finishes doing his "wandering" (long story). <br /><br />Anyway, I wanted to say hi, and I thought this might be a good place to share my own basic philosophy which is neither reap what you sow, or reap what you don't sow, but: <br /><br />Take only what you need to be joyful from what is offered, and offer what you have more than enough of to anyone who finds joy in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149653.post-50925509397152397802010-06-07T16:58:26.191-06:002010-06-07T16:58:26.191-06:00Hi Suelo.

What's next?. I can imagine Suelo stating: "I want to become a banker not for the money but because of the sense of community".<br /><br />Bottom Line: It's a fact that Agriculture is the mother of civilization (and commerce).

I think not, also I believe he already explained that it was more about fellowship than sustenance. And another thing, harvest is mostly in the fall. (in this hemisphere)<br /><br /> Agriculture did not become corrupt until credit or money was involved, something Senor Suelo has discussed at length.<br /><br /> There is nothing inherently wrong with agriculture, it's become prostituted by the system.

Thanks for being such an inspiration. Keep fighting the good fight man. <br /><br />PS.
