What I didn't expect of sustainable food production is the fact it requires the same, if not more, of microbiome tending, compared to the plant tending. I must say, this world does feel abundant for maybe a year or two now. Not in a sense of the ammount of resources held by the 1%, but truly, the resources I can access. My life didn't change dramatically, but I did work quite a bit on my mental health. I think that's where this comes from.
Considering this feel of abundance, the finding that any land you can think of has all of the necessary resources for your plants made a lot of sense. Brought a lot of comfort, as well. You need the bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes and the rest to unlock it for them. It made the whole idea of going into sustainable food production even more exciting for me. I miss the microscope, honestly!
I'm happy to have some kind of goal. I don't need to tie myself to it with a chain, but often, life felt so undirected, too open for me. All of this time, all of these things around me, yet I can't seem to find a greater goal I believe in, but in such a way that I would live for it, that I would live around that. Doesn't matter if it fails. Any person out of depression can probably relate - when there is an actual desire for something, it's almost a moral obligation to yourself to go for it as long as it lasts. The desires are not something to be taken for granted. Living a life without any can teach you that. Be happy today for the dreams you have. And, if you don't have any, that's okay. I didn't have, either. Took a lot of time and a lot of spaces outside of my comfort zone to find them.
