Love your Earth and other nonsense...

Nature Witch posted today about "Feeding the World" after a Landline (ABC) program, and I couldn't agree more. When I think about how little responsibility the majority of those of us in "westernised" world take for the food we eat I am mortified - consider the difference in our culture even pre the second world war. Get rid of some of the perfect grass lawn right now and grow at least a little of your own food! I think the disconnect and indifference so many of us feel about the crises (climate, oil, you pick one) already underway is because we don't put our hands on Earth enough - when you grow your own food you become a more aware part of Her. [Climbing down off soap box...].

Now that winter is upon us (or there abouts) and it is getting dark not long after 5pm (and I'm seriously considering bed by 7.30), there's nothing better than curling up on my lounge chair, the requisite blanket (knee rug! Old woman that I am.) and Akasha on lap and a DVD to hold my interest. Just got done watching the last ep on my Northern Exposure Season 5 set. Oh, to live in Cicely, Alaska! There is a special place in my heart (a very, very special one) for Chris (John Corbett ), let me tell you! If you've never seen it, go forth now to yonder DVD establishment and purchase. The series isn't that old (and neither am I right?) - early to mid 90's (yep, I spose it's kinda old), but it's hilarious to see the difference in technology (and political correctness!) since then. I love it's innocence, and the characters, and the "town", and good Goddess, the scenery. It makes me smile, and that's a good thing!
