"agromythology fire"
a permaculture tale

They built Salmonhook Village where mist held the hills and cedar roots drank deep. At first, they tried to shape the land. But the land reshaped them.

"soil heart"

remembers rain
neighbors’ roots
braid beneath fences

hands in the same dirt
we mend what was taken
sunlight passing
from leaf to leaf

even in cities
a small garden listens
love growing back.

I see the longing and confusion
in your beach jumper
take my hand and walk.

Old songs of kinship return
Roots weave us anew.

garden breath meets quiet charge
roots dream in soft light.

Morning won’t wake me
R.E.M. hums in daylight
dreams outlast the sun.

"sensemaking spaces"

In a circle without center
we set down unsolved thoughts.

No answers
only the turning
in shared light.

“I’ve been there too,”
someone says,
and silence opens...

enough
to be seen.

"in the ground"

In war,
security is wire
resilience ash.

In gardens
security is roots,
resilience seed.

We choose
what grows.

The Wind Council (a new Permaculture myth)

Across a narrow road stood two fields: Jack Robinson’s living soil, rich with bees and wild edges—and opposite it, a farm of straight lines and drifting spray... full piece:

"stay"

At the edge of the city
where glass meets tide
they chose not the leaving

but the quiet courage
of staying

and in that pause
the world loosened its grip
enough
to begin again.

"stand-by"

Stand-by hums, a quiet lung
breath suspended in pixel sleep

Connecting soft static dreams
flicker between absence and reach

Time-out: the screen goes silent
yet the heart still watches for signals

It’s coming slow as light warming glass
waiting - our small ritual of return.

"A 'how to' build a greenhouse for a village of 20 people"

For a village, think in terms of food security and routine harvests, not a delicate hobby greenhouse. Read the entire piece:

"hush"

In the hush after ruin
seeds spoke beneath ash
not of empire, but of rain
Hands met, light returned
and the Earth remembered our names.
