I have just recently read at work in the ruins and it makes so much sense with connection to how we may make use of our time. Regeneration also has an unpredictable edge to it - we can never fully know what will manifest and what changes it will bring and I think in a prescriptive time it's not been something that sells easily as we can't own the results. Loved reading this and all the projects being influenced by permaculture
At Work In The Ruins is a brilliant book. Uncertainty is hard. And one of the biggest myths of modernism is that we can live without it. The reality is, of course, that absolute certainty can never be possible is an ever-changing universe. 💚
"Ways that might allow us to make a place for ourselves in days to come where we may once again become part of the continuous and never ending emergence of a single moment in time."
Liz- Thanks for sharing this. Now if only I'm in the UK, it would make things so much easier. Hope you're well this week. Cheers, -Thalia
