Enough kvetching! Our global market economy is a cancer on the Earth and always has been, and that cancer is now terminal. Deal with it! Collectively, we are doomed, and always have been—at least since the Industrial Revolution. But individually we still have options. The four basic options are denial, delusion, despair, and determination. Of these, only the fourth is adaptive. Determination to do what? To grow gardens, grow community, and grow awareness, by learning, teaching, healing, and creating. That is, practice and propagate Permaculture—and let go of attachment to success or failure, since we are all mortal and always have been!
