Working On It, I'm inclined to think we humans need to find ways to nurture healthy forest ecosystems which may nourish us, and also draw moisture from the oceans, which will fall upon them as rain, that "Biotic Pump" thing they do so well. Forests create atmospheric rivers from the oceans, and the falling rain creates terrestrial rivers back.
My soil appears to be frozen up for the year this weekend, but I have plenty in storage. The first deer of the season is hanging on the meat pole and odds are good another one will be hung alongside. Although I live & love the seasons here and my routine, that sunlight on garden beds do look inviting!
I am working acreage planting it up to a food forest, a rather hard piece its mostly cedar swamp with a clay rock outcropping of the highest acid dense clay I know about, zone 4 and all plantings still alive grow very slowly. and I am making it work. Its all about succession - first perennial nitrogen fixers, legumes and bushes. Mix in intermediate understory food trees along with long-lived climax trees that will produce way more than the local wildlife can eat. I started planting in the year 2000 and ramped up once participating in a Permaculture Design Course that deals with these ideas in design.
A book to read is Tree Crops by Smith.
Mu view is 80% of climate weirding is because we are eliminating the climax forests - now we get to experience the real climate on this rock.

We are kindred spirits perhaps. My dream is to retire to a clear cut and plant trees till they plant me, preferably amongst those same trees. My grandparents had an exotic bit of forest growing in Ohio. He brought trees from around the world. Friends from Malasia were stunned at the variety when they visited. Destroyed by killer tornado in 86. The funnel cloud had two guys in a car as it passed over the homestead first erected in the 1930's. They landed in Pennsylvania. He planted grapes back up from the main areas and they went undisturbed till I found em around 78. He died in early 60's. She lived to just short of 100.
5 different kinds of grapes I often wonder if they are still there! Oh the birds that gathered in the canopy! Thousands, she, granny, would clap her hands and they would fly, what a racket!
She told the tornado insurance adjuster, I will not live here without my trees. She left.
It's nice to hear about your grandparents mixed forest project. I am working on Mexican-avocados, pushing for a more cold-tolerant specimen. I'm trying to clone the most cold-tolerant tree from cuttings now. (Climate zone 9a, Texas coastal plains).
This is exactly the difference between the Luciferians / Christians /Jews /Islamists...
They believe that they are above Nature and that everything is dead except them.
In ZEN / Taoism / Buddhism we think (I am not speaking for all) that the Universe grew from one single cell and that all of the Universe is a living being and we are a part of that.
The BurocRats cut every fifth leg from every dog...
Words can help people see if they share the vision, but they can't really transmit a vision which is foreign to a person's own understanding of "reality".
I have found that karma works in my life. "As yo sow, so shall you reap."
What does that imply abut "reality"?
It's not a simple machine, but I can only prove that to myself.

Good work, Rick.
Sorry it's so cold.

Eveything We know will come down, and Vernadsky was so right a century ago !!!!!
Vernadsky seems like he was a good human.

And almost nobody knows about this Great Human Being, way ahead of his time !!!!!
Ukrainian, too.
Thank you, for all your hard work.
Most welcome, Ma'am.

There are a few good things in there... FTX great scandal great subversion willing destruction.

There are s few things in which we can change everything.
For example we can in the Sahara & in Australia build inland seas.
Australia for example is inland 10m below the water, meaning there was an inland sea.
So we can open it towards the sea create an Inland sea and Nature does the rest.
Same with the Sahara... build a sea inside the Sahara and the sun does the rest
Solar pumps using sunlight can transfer water into the middle of the sahara.
With this action Groundwater levels will rise and we can make the Sahara a Green Cornbasket for the world.
With a little help from us Mother Nature can learn to breathe.
Combine this with energy from water and all problems are solved.
There are no problems... only solutions.
It is the political will that is missing.
We must eradicate politics.
I'm all for helping Mom-Nature, but politics and bureaucracies and money and big machines are how we get things done.
"Measure twice; cut once" , the carpenter's-rule.

The BurocRats cut every fifth leg from every dog...
Problem is they cut first and count then...
Yes, what is "reality"?
Words can help people see if they share the vision, but they can't really transmit a vision which is foreign to a person's own understanding of "reality".
I have found that karma works in my life. "As yo sow, so shall you reap."
What does that imply abut "reality"?
It's not a simple machine, but I can only prove that to myself.
Beautiful... poetic...
What is reality?
Is it a dream?
If so can I create a real dream and within this dream a vision of a reality?
Karma works because it is ZEN, and ZEN is based on Truth.
What is consciousness?
To be aware of being alive.
Karma and consciousness work together hand in hand... you are aware of what you are doing and the aftereffects of your actions.
And by the Truth of your heart you can sort out the crap from the good.
Negativity is a burden.
In ZEN we don't mess with negative things... we don't need burdens... we don't need prove that we exist... we feel we exist.
Truth, love, existenz, they are positive feelings of energy and we are at the center.
No need to tell me... I feel Love.
And I give my love of life to you... you are a seeker.
