I picked up a part time job at the local garden center and have this longing to take the whole spring and summer off social media, that I’m probably going to follow through with. Not sure what that means for my business yet. But I see feel you when you talk about the time it takes, the purposeful breeding of short attention spans and shallow roots, and really just wanting to be more attuned to what’s happening in my little neck of the woods.
Not only is the Land Institute’s kernza an amazingly restorative crop for the soil, it’s also amazingly delicious as we discovered on vacation by eating the Cascadian Farms organic cereal made with “climate smart kernza grains!” A win-win (and it was on sale so actually a win-win-win!)
Little known terrifying trivia for your readers - do you know what the #1 US export is? I’m told it’s topsoil runoff, eroding from fields via rain downpours and raging rivers that then (eventually) sends the topsoil into the oceans.
This could not have been more timely for my life. The monoculture - attention merchant metaphor is perfect and can’t wait to dig in to your extensions. Thank you, Sara.
"I’ve learned over the past several weeks that it costs me more than just the actual minutes I spend on it."
This might be the most insidious part of it.
Wow - that Instructions on Not Giving Up poem is stunning! As always, thanks for sharing!
