Seeds of Self Reliance

Seeds of Self Reliance

Seeds of hope, through
fertile tilth of our imagination,
Join moist soil to
Promised Harvest.

Seeds of wonder, through
hard coat of innate knowledge,
Unfold the miracle to
Food and Fiber.

Seeds of life, through
herited labors of generations,
Nourish and bind ancestors to
Our Children.

Seeds of cooperation, through
shared work and common vision,
Forge and strengthen alliances to
Strong Community.

Seeds of self reliance, through
green leaves channeling energy,
Complete the sun driven path to
True Wealth.

Seeds of defiance, through
ability to grow independence,
Outlast technoconsumptive empires to
Nature’s Elegance.

Zoobird Bob Tuskin gave me some heirloom seeds from his Survivalist Seed shipment. I planted a row of spinach and a row of radishes.


Bob's blog is full of videos and writing about Technocracy, Permaculture and videos from John Lipscomb of Survival Seeds. If you check it out, you'll learn how to make a survival garden, a water filter and more. I could easily spend a morning reading through his latest posts.
