"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.

Markets split the land
Old songs of kinship return
Roots weave us anew.

Copper lines hum low
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.

riot at the jackson browne concert
salmon in a tuna can
capitalism's black eyes.

Ash over green fields
songs rise where the ruins breathe
small myths seed the dark.

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:

rolling over your hills
the kettle boils.

try not to collapse into
self-promoted fatigue,
it's only your half-life.

"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.

I breathe from your lips
I walk in your feet
the toast is burning.

neighbors gather close
seeds folded into small hopes
the planet breathes green.

soil holds our stories
hands shape circles of giving

"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:
