This past weekend my family helped friends move onto their new farm, where they are eager to put into practice all they have been reading and learning: permaculture, animal husbandry, sustainability, etc., etc.
During a trip for more furniture the topic of conversation turned to how the Nearings lived their lives as an experiment (I might also add as a positive protest for the way things could be). I've written about Scot and Helen Nearing before.
What I've been thinking about since is this question: do we live our lives as an experiment? And join reflection, I've realized this has (continues to be?) a sub-topic of conversation here. I continue to believe that what we need in the world at present is people willing to live their lives as an experiment, saying, "As this is what I believe, this is how I live my life. I'm trying to live further and further into what I stand for."
Blessed be,
Joel
