Dear Friends & Family,
"We are surrounded by insurmountable opportunities," says Bill Mollison, the Pogo-like author of permaculture's principles, referring to the challenge and promise we face on Earth today. I'm at a two-week intensive permaculture design course where I am coming to grips with the necessity for Earth care, people care and future care: living within limits and returning the surplus. Under the guise of good garden design, what I'm learning is equally a philosophy and action plan for life.
We're at the pristine-aired Boulder Mountain Guest Ranch. It is monsoon season. Crickets, coyotes, massive clouds, a waterfall. In lectures from 8:30am-6pm, with films in the evening, and conversation around the fire. It's been a while since my brain has been stretched and kneaded this much. It would be easier if I'd paid better attention in high school chemistry and when John tried to teach me to read a compass and a topographical map.
But we all start where we're at ~ our class of 43 includes two precocious teens as well as people in their 60s, with as wide a range of skills.
I'm thrilled to be here. But I know you will have a good, opportunity-rich week in Salt Lake City as well, based on the suggestions below.
If you haven't picked up your July CATALYST, here it is. You'll see several stories on solar energy, gardening stories, a visit to Bistro on Third, a look at the Ballet West reality-based TV show "Breaking Pointe" and lots more.
Till next week,
Greta deJong, editor & publisher
P.S. I've always been a fan of Stevie Wonder. In light of his response to the George Zimmerman acquittal for the murder of Trayvon Martin ~ a performance boycott of Florida as long as the state's Stand Your Ground gun law exists ~ I am prouder than ever to be a fan and inspired by his action.

The routines of daily life unfold in planetary surround sound this week, and the sheer din of interactions could be deafening ~ and in certain cases, disturbing. Several channels ~ internal and external, individual and collective ~ are broadcasting simultaneously, and because each and every signal covers a broad spectrum of ideas and emotions, many of us are likely to feel overwhelmed by a barrage of information and opinion...(read more).
