A few days ago, I went to a Pachamama Alliance symposium concerning the condition of the earth and the people in it and what we can do to heal the world. I'm not going to go into the fullness of what the symposium covered, I'll just say that it made me take a close look at what I do with my own time. Mostly I feel good about what I do. I work to improve the fertility of my land, grow a fair amount of my food, spend some time educating others, write these two blogs and do a lot of reading. But there is one thing I regularly do that adds no fulfillment to my life or land and does nothing to improve the lives of others . . .
