I think that luxury has nothing to do with money, and everything to do with beauty.

Beauty exists irrespective of financial circumstances.

Even the fear of death is nothing compared to the fear of not having lived authentically and fully.

The act of putting into your mouth what the earth has grown is perhaps your most direct interaction with the earth.

What is different and exciting is how much we have learned. We learned we were right that we don't need the chemical model of agriculture. We know so much more about the life of soil now and we understand how plants synergistically work together with microbes and animals to create healthy conditions.

What has dawned on me is that focusing on the "finite planet" frame sends a message that we have gone as far as Nature can take us and therefore we need to give power to forces outside Nature.

Fear doesn't necessarily mean that we have to stop. It doesn't mean that we are failures. It doesn't mean that we are cowards.
