That's the word that is the hidden player here I think, Frank. Transformation, the individual, the community, the species. We NEED transformation. I heard somewhere that to "Follow Your Bliss" is now an evolutionary imperative. And what does that mean other than to radically transform one's Self into a vehicle through which Nature acts? Permaculture, a skill I still have not yet even become certified in, is something that relies completely upon the transformative nature of. . .Nature. Us being humans, we are able to parse that reality, those patterns, and re-determine them for our own purposes and Will - which still keeps us in the game because we're using THE blueprint instead of the maps we construct with our monkey prejudices and lack of Big Picture. I think the hardest part is not getting too tense about all of this, especially those of us who see the power inherent in the Work. If only EVERYone could see it, eh? ;-) Still, as Gaia's Warriors, we must go forth acting as if our small contributions mattered - because they really do, in fact. But it's as the ol' saying goes, "if the caterpillar exists, the butterfly does not."
