Sustainability in the home, continued

I read about the idea of the 'post-modern family' today, in which members live under the same roof, yet share little in common interests, activities or intimacy.

I am seeking a different kind of life.

I want to rekindle the hearthfire, rediscover nurture through connection with nature, around and within us. For we are nature, and we are part of all around us. We are organelles in the body of Gaia. When we recognize and nurture this connection, it can feed us. In fact, it needs to feed us, or our souls wither and ache. Only when that energy is flowing are things able to function as they should.

Our society is so virtual; we send our attention far and away from who and what we are. No wonder it's all falling apart.

The foundation needs to be love and conneciton and presence. Jesus talked about this too, and he was spot-on. Or as Franti says, "Love is da shit that makes life grow."
