There are some promising things now like urban gardening, rooftop gardening, and also younger people farming smaller places for niche markets. All of which give me hope.
I love how this quote grounds me; quite literally. My father is a cattleman, and he always called himself a tiller of the soil believing quite strongly that we are required to care for it. In so doing we care for ourselves; getting in touch, I think, from whence we came and to what we shall return. (Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.)
I'll answer your comments as soon as I possibly can. Please do come back if you've asked a question. Also, you may comment on any post, no matter how old, and I will see it.
Great quote. My most relaxing time is puttering around in the garden. It always amazes me when I find something new growing.

Gandhi always amazes me. All these years later, his truths endure.
DeleteSo very true and we keep getting further and further away from that!
