Juicy,
Wild & Fertile
"Ecology
and psychology, having grown up on different sides
of the mountain, met one day in the thick brush at
the ridge line separating their home territories. Their
first contact was awkward and hesitant. They began
to circle, they danced, and finally they joined.
Their offspring
are twins. One is vigorous, skillful, joyous, and
sustainable environmental action. The other is
the wonder, intimacy, healing, expansion, and grace
of finding ourselves at home in the world. They
realized, too, that there was much work to be done
together. There were other such liaisons in the
thick brush at the edges, but this one was particularly
juicy, wild, and fertile. "

Psychology, taught by John V. Davis at Naropa, CO,

Cookbook:
Fields
of Plenty: A Farmer's Journey in Search of Real
Food and the People Who Grow It
by Michael Ableman
In the face of supersizing and a fast-food nation,
a growing community of organic farmers and food
artisans are producing sustainable nourishment that
is respectful to the land and rich in heritage,
flavor, and passion. In Fields of Plenty,
respected farmer, teacher, and ecology advocate
Michael Ableman seeks out these innovative and committed
farmers to reveal how the fruits of those who till
the soil go beyond taste.
