Day 31:
The Mrs. and I belong to a produce co-op. It’s a pretty cool set up because every week we get to pick up locally grown fruits and vegetables; the coolest part of it all is that we’ve increased our consumption of Mother Nature’s edible goodness.
Anyhow, I only today read the newsletter that came with this week’s treats and I learned something about organic farming.
In order for a farm to be considered organic “it takes 36 months and one day from the last non-Organic application of anything to the land to accomplish the prescribed cleansing.”
Cleansing. Interesting.
The learning of this prompted me to ponder three things.
Primero: Mother Nature is pretty bad ass for having the ability to shed the toxins pumped into her for decades and rejuvenate herself to her natural state.
Segundo: Humans can’t be so bad if we’ve figured this out, and at least sometimes put it into practice.
And finally, imagine if it took the human race 3 years and a day to dump our toxins and get back to our natural state. Thankfully, in order for us to release ourselves from our refuse all we have to do is take a moment to make the decision that we’ll no longer live in a way that is harmful to ourselves or others. All we have to do is decide that we don’t have accept or be the negativity that pollutes our social settings.
Looking forward to living the lessons that come with learning how to plow…
